US implements further sanctions on Russia

The US imposed further sanctions on Russia today as a warning message against Russia’s destabilising actions in Eastern Ukraine.

The sanctions targeted 17 companies linked to the Russian president’s inner circle, 3 banks and deny export licence applications to Russia, reports the Financial times.

The sanctions came after the G7 nations agreed to intensify sanctions over the weekend. Further sanctions are expected to be announced by the EU this week.
