🚨BREAKING🚨
U.S. imposes sweeping Russia-related #sanctions on 100's of people and companies.

🚨Just hours ago the United States 🇺🇸 Government took further action against Russia over the sham election, annexing parts of Ukraine 🇺🇦.

🚨 The U.S. Department of the Treasury said it imposed #sanctions on 14 people in Russia's military-industrial complex, two leaders of the country's central bank, family members of top officials and 278 members of Russia's legislature for enabling Russia's sham referenda and attempt to annex sovereign Ukrainian territory.

🚨The U.S. Department of State also imposed visa restrictions on more than 900 people, including members of the Russian and Belarusian military and Russia's proxies for violating Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence.

🚨The U.S. Department of Commerce is adding 57 entities to its U.S. export blacklist. The agency will also make clear that U.S. restrictions on exports to Russia can apply to entities in other countries that support Russia's and Belarus' military and industrial sectors by shipping prohibited technologies and other items prohibited by the United States and the 37 countries with similar restrictions.

🚨The Treasury also issued guidance warning of heightened sanctions risk to those outside Russia should they provide political or economic support to Moscow.
