What sanctions are being imposed on Russia over Ukraine? – BBC News

25

The US, UK and some of their allies have imposed sanctions on Russia, after it recognised two separatist-held areas of eastern Ukraine as independent and ordered troops there.

The US has banned Americans from doing business in the rebel-held areas of Luhansk and Donetsk.

The UK announced sanctions against five Russian banks (Rossiya, IS Bank, General Bank, Promsvyazbank and the Black Sea Bank) and three wealthy Russian businessmen (Gennady Timchenko, Boris Rotenberg, and Igor Rotenberg).

German chancellor Olaf Scholz said he would put on hold permission for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany to open.

Uefa is almost certain to move this season’s Champions League final away from St Petersburg amid the Ukraine-Russia crisis.

A sanction is an action taken by one country against another, often in order to stop it acting aggressively or breaking international law.

    We are waiting…

    Do your European Union and "God-chosen America" still have the desire to spit out their sanctions and rattle their weapons?

  6. The west is a full of hypocrites., these sanctions are selective and mean nothing!! Europe pays $900 mil a day to russia for oil, Yet they ask other countries not to buy??? USA buys 43% of its uranium from russia plus all the fertilizer. Dont tlk abt sanctions when u r pumping cash into russia. Bunch o idiots..

  7. The sanctions against Russia are a slap in the face of the whole humanity and specially of the MILLIONS murdered by the anglosaxon genocides that never have seen a sanction or something else. The real sanctions are going to be dictated in the "other side" when each of the gringos will be punished by satan. Not even their monster babies, the future murderers will escape from those sanctions. And they will hurt forever. Amen

  10. Vladimir Putin was not a KGB. (He is a fraud.) How come KGB intelligence does not know of this thing called "Economic Sanctions?"

    (There is no more KGB in democratic Federation of Russia.)

    Economic Sanctions will hurt Russia's economy.
    Because Vladimir Putin did not know of this thing called "Economic Sanctions" before he attacked Ukraine, it shows that he was not a KGB.

  11. Where are you guuuys when israel and american's weapons killed million the civilians and attack public fascilities of palestine?? no sanction for israel. no sanction for america when they are killed hundreds thousand civilians and attack public fascilities of Iraq. now when Russia attack ukraine military fascilities and not attack civilians, you are guys give sanctions to Russia. Really loser countries. many people here are watching these losers 🤭😆

  12. "The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose." – James Baldwin.

    This quote perfectly applies to Putin if they keep on isolating Russia

  13. It seems very likely that the war in Ukraine was provoked by the United States for the collapse of the European Union. The war in Ukraine has been going on for 8 years after the Nazi regime came to power in 2014 as a result of a coup d'etat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNqRS6V0ZEw . It is very suspicious that all these years the bribed media have been silent. Russia was provoked to say, "Enough is enough!" and Russia began to destroy the Nazi regime. And suddenly the media saw the light and provoked the next step: sanctions against Russia, which will destroy the European Union. Ultimately, this is directed against Europe. It's all cleverly planned.
