Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the United States, claimed that Americans would “feel the consequences” of White House sanctions against Russia for Moscow’s decision to recognize two eastern Ukrainian regions as independent.

In a speech on Feb. 22, President Joe Biden said he would sanction two state-owned banks, including one that services the Russian military as well as elites close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the country’s sovereign debt. Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Sholz said the country would suspend its agreement with Russia to use the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
