US President Joe Biden announced over 500 new sanctions against Russia for the war in Ukraine and the death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny.
What was included in the US sanctions package against Russia
The sanctions will target Russia's financial sector, military-industrial base, procurement networks and people who evade sanctions on many continents. The restrictions will also affect people associated with the imprisonment of politician Navalny.
Sanctions will ensure that Putin pays an even greater price for his aggression abroad and repression in Russia, US President Joe Biden said.

The US will introduce new export restrictions against nearly 100 organizations that covertly support the Russian military complex.
Also, sanctions should reduce Russia's energy revenues. Biden instructed to strengthen support for civil society, independent media and those who fight for democracy around the world.
After two years of this war, the people of Ukraine continue to fight with great courage. But the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition. Ukraine needs more supplies from the United States, which is why the House of Representatives should pass a bill on national security before it's too late, — Biden emphasised.
