The United States has announced sweeping new sanctions on Russia and its partners on the first anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.

The Biden administration said on Feb. 24 that it would implement increased tariffs and export controls against critical Russian sectors in order to break the regime’s ability to continue its war of conquest against Ukraine. Notably, the measures include export controls against Chinese-based entities known to have assisted the Russian war machine.
