The US will announce new sanctions on Russia Wednesday in coordination with Group of 7 nations and the European Union, according to an administration official. The official said the sweeping package "will impose significant costs on Russia and send it further down the road of economic, financial, and technological isolation." "These measures will be taken in lockstep with our allies and partners, demonstrating our resolve and unity in imposing unprecedented costs on Russia for its war against Ukraine." The official added, "We had already concluded that Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, and the information from Bucha appears to show further evidence of war crimes. One of those tools is sanctions — and we have been working intensively with our European allies on further sanctions."
