Zeman urged to disconnect Russia from

SWIFT and the European Union against Moscow Milos Zeman

RUSSIA needs to be disconnected from the SWIFT interbank information exchange system due to the situation in Ukraine, Czech President Milos Zeman said, REUTERS reports.

“The time has come to achieve much tougher sanctions than those that were originally planned, by which I mean, first of all, sanctions in the field of the so-called SWIFT,” Zeman said.

The Czech president compared Russia to a "madman" and urged to defend himself not only in words, but also in actions.

Previously, Zeman was one of those European politicians who advocated the establishment of relations with Russia and criticized the sanctions policy of the West.
