Another fact that supports Euro was statement of member countries of G7 about Crimea, which said that in case of “annexation” of the Crimean peninsula, Russia will face serious consequences. This statement was welcomed by market participants as investors suppose that possible sanctions might stop the process of detaching Crimea and further escalation of armed confrontation.
