The UK has sanctioned seven Russian oligarchs who have an estimated net worth total of roughly $19.8 billion in its latest attempt to choke off funding of the war against Ukraine. One of the individuals was found to be Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich, who is said to have close ties with President Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia's bombing of a children's and maternity hospital in the southern region of Mariupol. The incident comes after Moscow and its neighboring European nation has agreed to a ceasefire to allow civilians to evacuate the area.
