The USA targets Russian banks and members of the Russian elite, announcing a new package of sanctions that includes a ban on all US investment in Russia, following accusations by Washington and Kiev against Moscow for crimes war in Ukraine.
The new measures will impose full foreclosure sanctions on Russia’s Sberbank – which owns a third of all of Russia’s banking assets – and on Alfabank, a senior US official told reporters.
Energy deals are being blocked by these sanctions, the official said.
The US also imposes sanctions on adult daughters of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, to the wife and daughter of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and members of Russia’s Security Council, the official said.
At the same time, Americans are prohibited from investing in Russia, including through venture capital or mergers, the source added.
