US President Joe Biden
The United States has announced more than 500 new sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine and the death in custody of opposition figure Alexei Navalny.
President Joe Biden says the sanctions target people connected to Mr. Navalny's imprisonment and Russia's war machine.
Export restrictions will be imposed on nearly 100 firms or individuals.
The EU also announced sanctions, which Moscow responded to by banning EU officials from entering Russia.
In a statement, Mr. Biden said the sanctions will ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin pays an even steeper price for his aggression abroad and repression at home.
