Disconnection from the International Interbank System SWIFT did not enter the list of anti-Russian sanctions, which prepares the European Union in connection with the exacerbation of the situation around Ukraine, the Bloomberg Agency reports.

Secondly, the EU has a certain concern about the activation of other payment systems, in particular Chinese and Russian.
