The Biden Administration and G-7 countries will impose new sanctions against 200 Russian individuals and entities, including a dozen financial institutions and targeting Russia’s defense, technology and mining sectors.
The Biden Administration also announced a new security assistance នីមួយៗ for Ukraine through the Department of Defense, including military equipment and ammunition, which comes on top of a separate aid package Biden បានប្រកាស earlier this week that drew from the U.S.’s existing stock of military equipment.
G-7 countries will target key Russian sectors, including energy, finance, defense and industry, as part of a new ‘enforcement coordination mechanism’ that will initially be overseen by the U.S., although specifics are yet to be announced.
The U.S. Department of Commerce will take new actions to restrict exports of U.S. materials and technologies to Russia, blocking many companies in Russia and allied countries like China from purchasing materials like semiconductors, and will take new steps to block materials from Iranian drones from being used by the Russian military.
The White House will raise tariffs on certain Russian products being imported into the U.S., including metals, minerals, and chemical products, particularly aluminum.

The war in Ukraine is now entering its second year with no end to the conflict in sight, and Russia has បង្កើន its attacks against Ukraine in recent days as U.S. and Ukrainian officials have warned Moscow may be preparing a new offensive in the fighting. The White House has vowed to continue its assistance to Ukraine as the conflict continues, with Biden saying in Kyiv Monday the U.S. “will be with [Ukraine]
… for as long as it takes.”

The White House’s commitment to Ukraine comes even as some Republicans and the U.S. public have become fatigued with the ongoing conflict. Polling shows that support for Ukraine among Americans has declined in the year since the war began, with a Morning Consult ស្ទង់មតិ finding the U.S.’s net favorability rating for Ukraine has dropped nearly 20 points, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) led 11 House Republicans in introducing a “Ukraine Fatigue” ដំណោះស្រាយ earlier in February, which called for the U.S. to halt its military and financial aid to the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin hit back against Biden and other Western critics in a សុន្ទរកថា on Tuesday after Biden visited Kyiv. “[Western leaders] intend to transform a local conflict into a phase of global confrontation,” Putin said about Biden and other countries’ efforts to help Ukraine. “This is exactly how we understand it all and we will react accordingly, because in this case we are talking about the existence of our country.”

The measures announced Friday are part of a slew of Russian sanctions and other measures the U.S. and its allies have taken over the past year to help Ukraine. The White House បាននិយាយថា: Tuesday it had already imposed 2,000 sanctions and more than 300 export restrictions against Russia over the past year, along with visa restrictions on members of the Russian military and significant monetary and military aid provided to Ukraine directly. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pressured the U.S. to increase its help even more, however, visiting Washington, D.C., in December and ជំរុញឱ្យសភា to provide additional military aid. Biden made an unannounced ទស្សនាទីក្រុងគៀវ on Monday to meet with Zelensky and emphasize the U.S.’s “endur[ing]” support, with strong words against Russia and Putin. “When Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us,” Biden said. “But he was dead wrong.”
