Let's see what's big on the evening of the 21st.
with the sound of a gun, the Russian stock market collapsed 9%
Tensions on the Russian Ukrainian border continued, and the Russian stock market fell more than one day. The Russian trading system index (RTs) fell more than 9% and the Russian MOEX index fell 7.88%.
Earlier, the Kremlin said there was no specific plan for the Putin Biden summit. The Russian Federal Security Agency said a shell fired from Ukraine hit a Russian border post.
In addition, Ukrainian Donetsk civil armed forces declared a state of emergency in Donetsk.
However, it is worth noting that this time, only Russia is falling unilaterally, and the decline of European and American stock markets is not so large and exaggerated.
On the news side, the Russian Federal Security Agency announced on the 21st that a shell fired from Ukraine that morning hit a border post in the Rostov region of Russia, and the buildings were completely destroyed, but no casualties were caused.
The live video released by Russian media showed that the post was located in a low forest. After being shelled, the wall collapsed and deformed, and the wall skin and building support were completely broken.
However, later, the Ukrainian border defense Bureau said that Ukraine did not fire on the Russian Rostov border checkpoint from Ukrainian territory.
On the evening of the 20th local time, European Commission President von delaine revealed some specific sanctions that Russia will suffer if it "invades" Ukraine.
In an interview with German television that night, she said that once there was an "invasion", Russia would be cut off from the international financial market. At the same time, Russia will not be able to obtain the goods it urgently needs. "We dominate the production of these goods and they have no substitutes.".
Recently, the relationship between Russia and Ukraine has accelerated, and the two sides have deployed a large number of military personnel and weapons and equipment in the border areas of the two countries. The United States, Ukraine and NATO claim that Russia has gathered heavy troops near the eastern border of Ukraine and has the potential of "invasion". Russia denied it and stressed that NATO activities threatened Russia's border security and that Russia has the right to mobilize troops within its territory to defend its territory.
In addition, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine issued a security alert on the 21st, saying that the security situation in Ukraine is changing rapidly, unpredictable and may deteriorate imperceptibly. Potential military operations will seriously restrict commercial flights. The U.S. State Department continues to urge U.S. citizens to leave Ukraine immediately by commercial or private flights.
