Biden, G-7 leaders to announce a new round of punishment for Russia’s invasion

The White House said President Biden and Group of Seven leaders will follow a Monday meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with a new round of sanctions designed to “sap” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military-industrial complex and strangle its economy.

They will impose tariffs on hundreds of Russian products and slap sanctions on hundreds of individuals and entities, on top of the more than 1,000 already punished.

Also, leaders will impose sanctions and visa restrictions on private military companies involved in the invasion and Russians who commit war crimes, steal Ukrainian grain or act as puppet officials in occupied towns.
