Germany vows sanctions to ‘dramatically limit’ Russian access to EU, US markets
Western allies will unleash sanctions that will drastically restrict Russia’s access to the European and American markets, Germany’s vice chancellor says, after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The “strong sanctions package” will “cut off the Russian economy from industrial progress, will attack and freeze assets and financial holdings, and will dramatically limit access to the European and American markets,” says Robert Habeck.
