The United States is joining the European Union in imposing direct sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
According to Ukrinform, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said this on Friday.
She said U.S. President Joe Biden had made the decision after a phone call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"In alignment with the decision by our European allies, the United States will join them in sanctioning President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov and members of the Russian national security team. I expect we'll have more specific details out later this afternoon," Psaki said.
The EU and the UK also announced sanctions against Putin and Lavrov.
