After President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a call Thursday that reportedly did not go well, Wall Street was briefed Friday morning on potential sanctions that could be imposed on Russia.
The Biden administration reportedly discussed potential sanctions with major American banks in an effort to not let those sanctions, or Biden’s potential actions in Ukraine, “disrupt the global financial system,” according to Bloomberg. Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. were all briefed this week by members of the National Security Council. Sanctions could include preventing Russia from being able to convert currency.
In a press conference last week, Biden was asked about Russia, and said that Vladimir Putin “has never seen sanctions like the ones I promised” if the nation moves against Ukraine. “Russia will be held accountable,” he said. These sanctions include that “their banks not will not be able to deal in dollars.”
On Thursday, after the phone call between Zelensky and Biden, CNN reported that a senior Ukrainian official said that the call “did not go well.” There were reportedly disagreements between the two leaders as to the imminence of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. That tweet was later deleted by CNN as the network appeared to do damage control over their reporting and the White House narrative. In the White House’s read out of the call, CNN reported, “there was no mention of President Biden’s warnings or of the two presidents’ disagreement.” According to CNN’s unnamed Ukrainian source, Biden told Zelensky that the city of Kyiv was at risk of being “sacked.” The White House disagreed with this assessment.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
