US targets Russia with more than 500 new sanctions
« on: February 23, 2024, 09:05:05 am »
BBC By George Wright 2/23/2024

The United States has announced more than 500 new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the death in custody of the opposition figure Alexei Navalny.

The sanctions target people connected to Navalny's imprisonment and Russia's war machine, President Joe Biden said.

Export restrictions will be imposed on nearly 100 firms or individuals.

The EU also announced sanctions, which Moscow responded to by banning EU officials from entering Russia.

It is unclear what impact the sanctions will have on Russia's economy.

In a statement, President Biden said the sanctions "will ensure" Russian President Vladimir Putin "pays an even steeper price for his aggression abroad and repression at home".

The sanctions mark a week since Navalny suddenly died in an Arctic Circle jail. Mr Biden has said there can be "no doubt" the Russian president was to blame.

The sanctions also come on the eve of the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Oil sanctions against Russia are not working.

I wonder how much  is going to have to be "donated" to PRIME DNC offshore banking accounts to get that lifted?

More sternly worded letters?  Oooh, Putin is so afraid.

Sanctions to date by the Biden Idiocracy have done nothing but strengthen Russia.  Isn't it time for bagman Hunter to receive another check from the wife of the mayor of Moscow for $X million?  The BIG GUY needs an infusion of cash.

WAR: American supporters of the Ukraine war, like Mark Zuckerberg are buying sanctioned Russian super yachts. In fact the billionaire is buying two for pennies on the dollar.
