Russian President Vladimir Putin
Joe Biden has imposed new sanctions against Russia including measures targeting its government debt.
The sanctions ban US financial institutions from trading in newly issued Russian state debt, known as OFZs, and bonds issued by the Russian central bank and National Wealth Fund. The ban affects debt issued after June 14.
But it does not stop American institutions from dealing in previously issued Russian bonds. And, significantly, it does not, for now, apply to foreign banks or investment firms.
It can certainly, therefore, be labeled a measured action, if one has the dubious view that any action was needed.
Russian Markets Shrug Off New Sanctions

Russian financial markets have shrugged off the latest round of sanctions announced by the U.S. on Thursday, with the Russian ruble and stock markets bouncing back strongly in Friday trading.
The ruble which saw trading volumes five times higher than usual ahead of the sanctions announcement recovered two days of losses to stand at 75.8 against the dollar during trading in Moscow.
