After the European Union (EU) and the UK announced more sanctions on Russia, US President Joe Biden said he was “always open to additional sanctions”.
“I’ll be talking to G7 members this week about what we’re going to do or not do,” Biden told reporters at the White House as he discussed the US economy.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed a series of measures, including a ban on Russian oil, on Wednesday.
Other proposals include listing individuals who committed war crimes in the Ukrainian city of Bucha; remove Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank, and two other companies from the SWIFT system — a messaging service that connects financial institutions around the world; and banning three Russian state broadcasters from European airwaves.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss also announced on Wednesday new sanctions against 63 Russian citizens and entities, including against media companies “behind Putin’s vicious disinformation campaign” and their employees.
