ArmInfo.Disconnecting Russia from SWIFT due to sanctions would be a radical step, Michael Harms, executive director of the German Economics East Committee, told Hessischer Rundfunk Info.
"This is, of course, a radical step.
We very much hope that within the framework of political development it will not come to this," RIA Novosti quotes Kharms.
Earlier it was reported that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, after Moscow recognized the independence of the LPR and the DPR, asks other countries to impose tough sanctions against Russia and disconnect it from the SWIFT international interbank system.
At the end of January, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev commented on the possibility of disconnecting the Russian side from SWIFT.
