Russia is preparing for the United States "titanium coffin"
April 6, 2018 Washington transferred its anti-Russian policies to a new level. The United States imposed sanctions against 38 Russian entrepreneurs and a number of legal entities. Experts believe that this is part of a long-term US strategy of exerting pressure on Moscow, in order to sway anti-Putin sentiments within the community of Russian oligarchs.
The pretext for imposing sanctions was the so-called "various malicious activities of the Russian Federation" against the United States. However, for some reason, the Russian billionaires, rather known for their proximity to the Kremlin, were the representatives of the Rotenberg family, Oleg Deripaska, Victor Vekselberg and Suleiman Kerimov. Also on the sanctions list were top managers of large companies, civil servants, 12 private companies and 2 government agencies. Also, restrictions are imposed on the activities of the Russian Rosoboronexport.
The consequences of getting into the American black list can be very disastrous for them: now it will be forbidden to conduct any commercial business with them.
The business empires of Oleg Deripaska, Victor Vekselberg, and Suleiman Kerimov with all the structural elements that make up them were hit. These corporations will lose partners, investors, counterparties, access to financial instruments and markets. Sanctions suggest freezing US assets of individuals and legal entities that have fallen into it, for example, Vekselberg’s Renova Investment Fund in New York may be left without $ 2 billion. Formally, the countries of the European Union are not required to comply with US restrictions, but in fact this will happen. Is it any wonder that Oleg Deripaska lost $ 1,7 billion in a day due to a landslide drop in the stock price of his companies?
What can be the Kremlin’s response to anti-Russian sanctions?
First, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a harsh statement regarding the United States of America, promising to give a tough answer:
Secondly, Minister Manturov cheered up the billionaires who had already lined up for help from the Russian budget:
Now the government of the Russian Federation is considering the issue of a possible restriction on the export of titanium and titanium alloys to the United States. This can hurt the United States aviation industry, while our foundry industry can easily find new markets.
In the meantime, the court and the case, the United States of America, apparently, will continue to violate the freedom of speech so advertised by them, will continue to illegally torture people in secret prisons, violate international law and the principles of free trade, and also carry out illegal interventions and occupation of territories of sovereign states.

Russian companies that are subject to sanctions, we will support even more
