with the possibility of mass civilian casualties. o criminal has the capacity for both the fall can. i'll just 0 western nations and uniting to cripple rushes economy and its ability to finance the war and ukraine. certain russian banks to be bought from the special finance system. that means they'll be prevented from carrying out sanctions transactions rather worldwide. the targets include russia's central bank, which holds reserves with $600000000000.00. we commit to ensuring that a certain number of russian banks are removed from swift. this will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and hom, their ability to operate globally. swift is the world's dominant global enter bank payment system. cutting banks off will stop them from conducting most of their
8:07 am
financial transactions worldwide. and effectively block russian exports and imports . the calhane has this update from washington dc. vladimir putin. president putin has believed that he is somewhat insulated from sanctions because he's built up this huge war chest. but what we've seen in the last week is the rubel versus the dollar is just absolute plummeted. this couldn't really start to have an actual impact on a regular russian people. if all the sudden you need way more ruble to buy a loaf of bread, that is going to create some political pressure. so he needs this money to be able to keep the ruble basically steady. so exactly how those sanctions play out. that could be a huge part, and we also see they're taking a different tact. they're trying to go after the people, or they say they're going to go after the people closest to put in the really, truly wealthy. there's a thing they've been able to use in the past to avoid sanction,
8:08 am
is they call it the golden passport. basically you pay a lot of money to a country and you get a passport. so you can't necessarily deal in business as a russian. but perhaps you can do it from this other country. so they're going to be trying to squeeze that your call of power around flattery. putin tried to cut off any way that they can evade the sanctions. william black is an economist in former federal prosecutor. he believes russia is ill prepared to cope with the sanctions. if you keep the sanctions on economically well within the next 2 to 3 years, they will have a very substantial bite. and by the way, the things that putin has been doing to supposedly prepare the russian economy ah, for being sanctioned crew are actually very harmful to the russian economy. and the russian economy is incredibly weak relative to its military
8:09 am
power. so putin does have to worry considerably of that this becomes his afghanistan economically. and politically. putin has shown repeatedly that the ala carte sir useful in, in making him very wealthy, but that he can and will break them. i have show trials, put them in prison, literally kill them in prison and devastate them economically. so i think the united states has it wrong in believing that if it goes after the cronies, it's going to make life a difficult for putin more european countries ascending weapons in fuel to help you crane defend itself. germany, his pledge to 1000 to and he tank weapons and 500 surface to air missiles. the netherlands also promised to send missiles to ukrainian forces and the u. s. is up,
