The US continues sanctions against Russia
The US Treasury Department on Friday morning imposed sanctions on more than 500 Russian individuals and entities, saying the sanctions were aimed at "Russia, its supporters and the country's war machine." This was reported by France-Presse news agency.
Meanwhile, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland admitted that her country's previously imposed sanctions had failed to weaken the Russian defense industry. Victoria Nuland Let us recall that on February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin, having criticized the West’s indifference to Moscow’s security problems, recognized the independence of the separatist DPR and LPR in the Donbass. Three days later, on Thursday, February 24, he launched a military operation against Ukraine, which he called a “special operation.” Thus, tense relations between Moscow and Kiev escalated into a military confrontation. In response to Russia's actions, the United States and Western countries have expanded sanctions against Moscow to this day, supplying Kyiv with billions of dollars worth of weapons and military equipment.
