West could cut U.S. dollar access for Russian companies, UK's Johnson says
LONDON (Reuters) -The United States and Britain would cut off Russian companies' access to U.S. dollars and British pounds if the Kremlin orders an invasion of Ukraine, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday.
The United States and Britain have repeatedly cautioned that Russia is about to invade Ukraine, a step Washington and London say would trigger the biggest conflict since the end of World War Two. Russia denies it plans to annex Ukraine.
Johnson said that Western sanctions on Russia in the event of an invasion would go much further than he has previously suggested in public.
"We are even, with our American friends, going to stop them trading in pounds and dollars," Johnson told the BBC. "That will hit very, very hard."
