The United States on Friday imposed sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials: Secretary of State Sergei Lavrov, Secretary of Defense Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff General Valery.
“We are united with our international allies and partners to ensure that Russia pays a serious economic and diplomatic price for its new invasion of Ukraine,” said Finance Minister Janet Yellen. “If necessary, we are ready to impose further sanctions on Russia for its heinous behavior on the world stage,” he added.
The US Treasury Department will also impose “full embargo sanctions” on Russia’s state-owned Direct Investment Fund, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a Twitter post earlier. This Fund is designed to raise capital in high-growth sectors.
