Citing ‘atrocities’ in Ukraine, US has embargoed more Russian officials and their families.

Citing “atrocities in Ukraine, including in Bucha,” the US on Wednesday rolled out new sanctions against the “Putin regime” and Russian banks, companies and government officials – as well as their family members.

"Today, the United States, with the G7 and the European Union, will continue to impose severe and immediate economic costs on the Putin regime for its atrocities in Ukraine, including in Bucha. We will document and share information on these atrocities and use all appropriate mechanisms to hold accountable those responsible," the White House said.

President Vladimir Putin’s "adult children" and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s wife and daughter were among the Russians listed in the latest round of “full blocking sanctions,” which the White House says intend to impose “severe and immediate costs” on Moscow. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and former President Dmitry Medvedev were likewise sanctioned, for their membership on the Russian Security Council.

As part of Wednesday’s sanctions, any assets of Sberbank and Alfa Bank “touching” the US financial system have also been blocked, and any Americans banned from doing business with them.

The White House also said that US President Joe Biden will sign an executive order Thursday prohibiting any investment in Russia by Americans wherever they are, to “further isolate Russia from the global economy” and “ensure the enduring weakening of the Russian Federation’s global competitiveness.”

Also on Thursday, the US Treasury will announce the list of “critical major Russian state-owned enterprises,” in order to ban any Americans from doing business with them and freeze their assets subject to US jurisdiction.

The US is also trying to force Russia to default on its sovereign debt, having banned Moscow earlier this week from using funds under US jurisdiction to make payments. The White House said Moscow will now have to “choose between draining its available funds to make debt payments or default.”


Earlier on Wednesday, Medvedev compared the embargoes against Russia to a medieval inquisition, with the US and its “European servants” needing no evidence to accuse Moscow of “witchcraft,” and the accused getting no due process or the right to counsel. The former president and PM noted that the US, UK and Europe still had functioning courts that could “correct a mistake of the inquisitorial process” and that Russia intends to contest the sanctions that way.

Rubble is now getting stronger, the war never stop yet, most of em still Dey buy from Russia either directly or indirectly…rather make dem find way to stop the war first dem Dey add fuel for the fire….

Russia should have learn quickly from China then, when the Chinese government banned my western technology.
Russia was too slow to do that but will be forced now.
They have already sanctioned all Russian dogs and cats.
They are now out of sanctions, next thing is to make noises at Pak, China and India.
USA still import Russia gas and oil.
EU diplomats fail to agree on ban on Russian coal imports and new package of sanctions against Russia - Reuters

Good move

They can stay in Russia and suffer with the poor people of Russia instead of gallivanting around the world in luxury with their ill-gotten wealth.

The sanctions they placed now are just for show, and nothing more. I'm waiting to see EU's list of new sanctions.

The only sanctions left for EU, is to fully ban the importation of Russia's oil and gas, and that's not going to happen, as it would amount to committing economic and political suicide.

Sanction neva bake in fully, your Oga is already losing billions of dollars, that was just last month, Imagine this month, next month and beyond when the full effect enter story..


EU can not ban Russian gas today for obvious reasons, but they are buying less and sourcing coal from other sources already.

Garmany is already building their own LNG terminals, they've already sourced gas from Qatar, either way, tell your oga Putin to enjoy the little money he;'s making now because very soon, he won't be making 1 kobo from the EU, hi largest customers and the US.
