A top US official says new sanctions will be announced against Russian “political figures” and the wealthy elite close to President Vladimir Putin known as oligarchs.
“We, the United States, will announce a package of sanctions designations tomorrow that relate both to political figures, oligarchs,… as well as entities,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says aboard Air Force One, which was en route to Brussels for NATO and EU summits on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Sullivan says Western partners were also looking to “coordinate on sanctions enforcement so that Russian efforts to evade the sanctions can be dealt with effectively.”
