The White House announces new sanctions against 200 individuals and entities in Russia and third countries

ARK News… The White House said the United States will impose sanctions against more than 200 individuals and entities from Russia and third countries over Russia's own military operation in Ukraine.

"On Friday, in coordination with G7 partners and allies, the Treasury and State Departments will impose broad sanctions on key financial sectors. This will result in sanctions on more than 200 individuals and entities, including both Russia and third countries," the White House statement said.

The British Foreign Office announced earlier in the day the expansion of the list of sanctions imposed against Russia which included 92 individuals and legal entities, including those associated with the "Ross Atom" company.

On Friday, New Zealand and Australia imposed new sanctions on Russia, affecting companies and a group of politicians, military, and businessmen.

The West has stepped up sanctions pressure on Russia over Ukraine, which has led to higher prices for electricity, fuel, and food in Europe and the United States.
