WASHINGTON The United States Treasury Department plans to impose more than 500 new sanctions on Russia and its war machine on Friday as the U.S. vows to keep up its financial pressure on Moscow with the war entering its third grueling year.
The US Department of Justice disclosed a range of lawsuits against Russian oligarchs and their allies, and also announced the detention of a Russian oligarch Andrey Kostin and his two “associates”, according to the statement on its official website on Feb. 22.
