    The new sanctions package will ban all new investment in Russia, increase sanctions on financial institutions and state-owned enterprises in Russia, and sanction Russian government officials and their family members.

    The new sanctions package will mark the latest escalation in efforts by the US and its allies to impose costs on Russia for its invasion and, over time, cut off critical economic sectors the country utilizes to wage the ongoing war.

    Exactly.  This time the world has had enough.  That aggression ends here.

    Proud to say it is being led by our U.S. President.

     This alliance is symbolic & anti-American. Xi is not going to materially support a loser such as Russia. The people in both countries are imprisoned when speaking out & they have that in common as well.  

    China hasn't been actively involved, So what makes you think their posture will change?

    "These measures will degrade key instruments of Russian state power, impose acute and immediate economic harm on Russia, and hold accountable the Russian kleptocracy that funds and supports Putin's war," the official said.

    "These measures will be taken in lockstep with our allies and partners, demonstrating our resolve and unity in imposing unprecedented costs on Russia for its war against Ukraine."

    Following Joe Biden's lead

    Axios -

    Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Spain announced separately Tuesday that they will expel dozens of Russian diplomats following similar expulsions from other European Union countries.

    Why it matters:

    Several EU members, including Germany and France, have now announced Russian dismissals after evidence surfaced of atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha in the wake of Russia's military withdrawal from northern Ukraine.

    Italy said it expelled 30 Russian diplomats, while Spain said it will order 25 to leave, Denmark 15 and Sweden three.
    All four countries said the diplomats were either not acting in accordance with international rules or pose a national security threat to their governments.

    The big picture:

    The reported killings of civilians in Bucha — some with their hands tied behind their backs — by Russian forces have prompted vows of new sanctions against Russia from both President Biden and European Union leaders.

    Russia's defense ministry [praised by trump and other rw advocates] rejected the accusations, saying no civilians were injured or killed while its soldiers controlled the town.

    How many times since WWII has the UN voted ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY to condemn the USA for use of military force anywhere in the world, like the UN has done against Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

    The EU and G7 have voted the same as the UN.   This is simply TOTAL condemnation of the use of force.

     

    We are no angels but I seriously can't remember an overwhelming majority of world nations expressing near unanimous condemnation of any US actions believed at the time to have just cause.    Only GWBush's war in Iraq might come the close.

    But some people insist on comparing apples to bananas and implying they are the same.
