Lead and advocate the change. Apply necessary pressure on EU members who object/hesitate, helping them to mitigate the consequences. Stop theorising 'what if' - make it happen.
More details
Russia attacked Ukraine. We have war in Europe and this is unacceptable. UK, EU and US need to up level the pressure on Russia. In Ukraine innocent people die every second now.
Banning Russia from SWIFT will be one of the weapons against Russian Oligarchs, people who are hiding behind V. Putin. Nation that should stand against the dictatorship.
We must try to make them uncomfortable with all means we have.
