The sanctions, on the other hand block all access to financial assets for at least seven top most officials around Vladimir Putin, but not Putin himself.
This action signals Biden’s administration treatment of Russia which will be effectively different from its predecessor. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken commented that there will be severe consequences of Russia abusing human rights and use of chemical weapons.
