President Joe Biden on Thursday announced that the US will impose a second, harsher round of sanctions on Russia following its large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Biden announced that he had authorized "additional strong sanctions" and "new limitations" on what can be exported to Russia. "We have purposely designed these sanctions to maximize the long term impact on Russia and minimize the impact on the United States and our allies," Biden said.
Building on previous economic penalties imposed by the US, the sanctions target four more major banks in Russia and Russian elites. "Every asset they have in America will be frozen," Biden said.
Biden said the US's new sanctions will apply restrictions on Russia's largest state-owned enterprises, which control more than $1.4 trillion in assets...
"Between our actions and those of our allies and partners, we estimate that we will cut off more than half of Russia's high-tech imports," he said...
The president's remarks came after he met with G7 members to coordinate a more severe response after Russian troops moved in on Ukraine from its northern, eastern, and southern borders, advancing by land, air, and sea...
Ukrainian officials as well as some Baltic states that are part of the NATO alliance said in the wake of Putin's invasion that Russia should be cut off from Swift...

Biden needs to put on a Dunce Cap and sit in the corner.
Someone else has got to step up. Where’s Obama on this? Is he going to try to lead the way...LOLOLOL
Gee, I bet that really inspires confidence for everyone in Europe!
Does Biden have a money laundering operation in Ukraine?
And is this the real reason he’s panicked about it?
Yeah brandon....harsh words and squinty eyes. That’ll stop him in his tracks.
SMH
If Biden and the cabal do have a money laundering operation in the Ukraine, and if that country is a headquarters for their child trafficking network, wouldn’t it be best to shut the whole thing down?
Don’t worry, they’re purchasing more Gazprom gas tomorrow.
I love how the leftest media keep trying to prop-up biden as someone important. bidon is completely powerless, everyone knows it.
Shut off their Facebook. That will stop Putin.
Biden’s inauguration was a dangerous moment for the United States and all of the world - we have seen this time and time again - one disaster after another.
but at least there are no more mean tweets - those that voted for Biden can sleep well at night that Trump is no longer sending out silly tweets while the world burns.
Dumbassery on display.
What an absolute meat puppet fool this devil in the White House is! What will he apologize for when the cyber war grinds America to a halt and food supplies disappear and water stops being pumped up into the water towers and sewage backs up because the treatment plants are shut down and disease begins to murder millions? Well, if no one tells him in his basement he will remain docile.
Because Europe doesn't want to have their Natural Gas from Nord Stream I cut off.
The most dangerous threat facing Europe is the Hero of Kabul.
Why does the media never speak of the massive criminal syndicate headquartered in the Ukraine?
Obama yea just what we need, I can hear it now from Putin..."Shut up silly little Black man"
his excuse for not cutting Swift access is a 0bama
all in boi all in
Biden’s sanctions are only to punish Americans, and get him his 10%.
In addition to the sanctions announced today, White House sources have confirmed that later tonight, Biden is planning on calling a local Moscow pizzeria and sending a bunch of pizzas to Putin’s house that he didn’t order.
