U.S. and Allies Sanctioning Putin's Adult Daughters, Other Russian Elites in New Round of Sanctions

In a new round of sanctions, the U.S. and its allies are banning new investment in Russia and sanctioning Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adult daughters and other Russian elites.

These sanctions come after new brutality in Ukraine was discovered, Axios reported.

When Russian troops pulled out of Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, dozens of civilian bodies were found, shot to death and some with their hands tied behind their backs, CNBC News reported.

In light of this, a senior Biden administration official said that the new sanctions imposed were a necessary response to the “sickening brutality in Bucha” and are “dramatically escalating the financial shock,” according to Axios.
