US may sanction Putin’s two daughters

The US and the European Union are set to impose additional sanctions on Russia on Wednesday in response to Ukraine’s allegations that Russian troops committed war crimes in the town of Bucha.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the US would ban new investment in Russia and place further sanctions on Russian financial institutions, as well as Kremlin officials and their families.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Washington is considering additional sanctions against Putin’s two daughters and Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank.

EU ambassadors will on Wednesday consider plans for a fifth package of sanctions, that includes banning imports of Russian coal, and preventing most Russian- owned or operated ships from using EU ports.
