New sanctions will be reportedly announced on April 28
Leaders of the G-7 announced late Friday they had agreed to “move swiftly” to impose new sanctions against Russia over its continued role in the unrest in Ukraine, APA reports quoting Fox News.
A statement released by the White House said the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission “have now agreed that we will move swiftly to impose additional sanctions on Russia.
“Given the urgency of securing the opportunity for a successful and peaceful democratic vote next month in Ukraine’s presidential elections, we have committed to act urgently to intensify targeted sanctions and measures to increase the costs of Russia’s actions.”
The new sanctions will hit Russian “individuals and/or entities” and Washington will announce its list as early on April 28, senior U.S. officials said.
G-7 countries have previously imposed sanctions on high-ranking officials of Russia. The U.S. also decided to impose sanctions against Bank Rossiya.
