US imposes ‘crushing’ sanctions on Russia 2 years after Ukraine invasion
==========
The Biden administration has announced over 500 sanctions on Russia, its 'enablers,' and its 'war machine' on the two-year anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine. These sanctions are the largest single tranche since the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion. They will target individuals connected to the imprisonment of anti-corruption activist Aleksey Navalny, as well as Russia's financial sector, defense industrial base, procurement networks, and sanctions evaders. The sanctions also include new export restrictions on nearly 100 entities providing support to Russia's war machine. President Biden has directed his team to strengthen support for civil society, independent media, and democracy advocates worldwide. The Treasury Department and State Department will roll out the sanctions, which also aim to punish the Kremlin for its role in Navalny's death. The U.K. has also announced its own sanctions against six Russian officials. The U.S. has sought to weaken Russia's military by targeting its economy, but Russia has managed to evade many sanctions through various means. The Biden administration plans to impose additional penalties tied to Navalny's death in the future.
