The latest set of U.S. sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine will increase in cost to Moscow over time, White House officials said Thursday evening. Follow our live coverage for updates and analysis:
By U.S. lawmakers offered mixed responses to President Biden’s latest announcement of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described the newest sanctions as “sweeping and catastrophic,” noting that the president “has made clear throughout Russia’s escalation that we will continue to impose costs on Russia that will leave it weakened in every way.” And in a sign that Biden’s sanctions fell short among Republicans, the Senate GOP leader said, “Congress would support truly devastating sanctions against the Kremlin and its enablers.”
Some Democratic lawmakers, including California Reps. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank and Jackie Speier of Hillsborough, also said Putin should be targeted and Russia blocked from the global financial messaging network known as SWIFT.
