US targets Russia with more than 500 sanctions | BBC News

The United States has announced more than 500 new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the death in custody of the opposition figure Alexei Navalny. The sanctions target people connected to Navalny’s imprisonment and Russia’s war machine, President Joe Biden said. Export restrictions will be imposed on nearly 100 firms or individuals. The EU also announced sanctions, which Moscow responded to by banning EU officials from entering Russia.

The alliance between Iran and Russia is nothing new. But it’s far more dangerous now because the Biden Administration enriched Iran by lifting sanctions.

Biden Announces 500 New Sanctions Against Russia On February 16, 2024, Nalvany died unexpectedly in an Arctic prison. Today, Biden announced those “devastating consequences” that he said would happen if Navalny died in prison. In a statement (linked below), he announced that he is imposing more than 500 sanctions against Russia … in connected to its continuing war against Ukraine and Navalny’s death. – Red State

“We are going to continue to make sure Putin pays the price for his repression abroad and his repression at home.” Biden recognizes the 2-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine and announces 500+ new sanctions against Russia.

Just the Facts…

  • The United States and the European Union are implementing new sanctions against Russia in response to the second anniversary of its invasion of Ukraine and the recent death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.
  • The U.S. Treasury, State Department, and Commerce Department are set to introduce approximately 600 new sanctions targeting Russia’s war capabilities, marking the largest batch of penalties since the invasion began on February 24, 2022.
  • The Justice Department has announced new arrests and indictments of Russian businessmen and intermediaries, including the head of Russia’s second-largest bank, in connection with supporting Russia’s military actions in Ukraine.
  • The European Union is imposing sanctions on foreign companies accused of supplying dual-use goods to Russia that could be used in warfare, as well as targeting Russian officials involved in the illegal deportation and military re-education of Ukrainian children.
  • President Joe Biden emphasized the global implications of the conflict, stating that failing to hold Putin accountable would encourage further aggression and increase costs for the U.S., NATO allies, and other partners.
  • Despite previous sanctions, there has been little deterrence of Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. The Biden administration is imposing additional sanctions while facing challenges in securing further aid for Ukraine due to opposition from House Republicans.
  • The war’s intersection with U.S. election politics is highlighted by former President Donald Trump’s comments undermining the value of the NATO alliance and suggesting a laissez-faire approach towards Russian actions against certain countries.
  • The new U.S. sanctions target Russian firms contributing to the war effort, including drone and chemical manufacturers, machine tool importers, and financial institutions like the state-owned Mir National Payment System.
  • In reaction to Navalny’s death, the U.S. is designating three Russian officials believed to be linked to the incident, with one being promoted by Putin shortly after Navalny’s death.
  • Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, praised the sanctions but questioned the timing, suggesting that such measures could have been implemented earlier to counter Russia’s military advancements.
  • The U.S. plans to impose around 600 new sanctions involving the Treasury, State Department, and Commerce Department, marking the largest set of penalties since the invasion began on February 24, 2022.
  • The sanctions follow new arrests and indictments by the U.S. Justice Department targeting Russian businessmen and their intermediaries, including the head of Russia’s second-largest bank.
  • The European Union is sanctioning several foreign companies for exporting dual-use goods to Russia, potentially aiding its war efforts, and is also targeting Russian officials involved in various offenses, including the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.
  • President Biden emphasized the global stakes of the conflict, warning of the consequences of failing to hold Putin accountable for his actions.
  • The new sanctions target Russian firms contributing to the war effort, financial institutions, and individuals linked to Navalny’s death, including a high-ranking official in Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service.
  • Critics, like former U.S. ambassador Michael McFaul, question the timing of the sanctions and urge for a more proactive approach to sanctioning Russia.
  • Navalny’s death has been officially attributed to natural causes by Russia, while the U.S. holds the Russian government responsible.
