US boasts of having secret weapons against Russia

WASHINGTON – The United States (US) boasts of having secret weapons that will be used against Russia. According to US officials, Washington will keep its planned sanctions against Russia completely secret, so Moscow has no chance of anticipating them in advance.

Speaking to CBS on Monday, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said Washington was working on a series of measures that would be imposed if Russia invaded Ukraine, but would not let the Kremlin know ahead of time.

“With regard to this sanctions package… deterrence is best when there is a bit of strategic ambiguity around what we are going to do,” said Nuland.

He explained, “So we’ve said financial measures, we’ve said export controls, we’ve said new sanctions against the Russian elite. But if we put that on the table now, then Russia will be able to start cutting back, and that doesn’t make sense to us.”
