U.S. slaps sanctions against Russia’s third largest bank

The United States has announced additional sanctions against Russia. Nearly three years into Russia’s war against Ukraine, the U-S is slapping sanctions on Russia’s third largest bank. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the sanctions would further diminish Moscow’’s military effort and “will make it harder for the Kremlin to evade sanctions and fund and equip its military.” And the White House said the U-S “remains committed to putting Ukraine in the strongest possible position.”
