The U.S. announced new sanctions on April 6 on Russian banks and individuals, including banning any American from investing in Russia. The new package puts full blocking sanctions on Russia's Sberbank, which holds one-third of Russia's total banking assets, and Alfabank, a senior U.S. official told Reuters. Energy transactions are blocked from these sanctions, the official said. The United States is also sanctioning Russian President Vladimir Putin's adult daughters, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's wife and daughter, and Russia's security council members.
Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
