In a move to cripple Russia's military and industrial capabilities, US officials announced fresh sanctions targeting nearly 300 entities in Russia, China, and other countries. The sanctions aim to disrupt Moscow's war efforts in Ukraine by penalizing companies that support President Vladimir Putin's invasion. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen emphasized consequences for aiding Russia's war, while also highlighting US support for Ukraine. The measures follow President Joe Biden's signing of a bill to provide new funding for Ukraine's defense. The sanctions also target individuals linked to the death of Russian opposition leader Aleksey Navalny.
