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.

Did JFK wanted to start a nuclear war when he gave an ultimatum to Cuba?
Of course not but he wanted to say here is the line and you don't cross it.
Besides the sanctions, NATO should have given Russia an ultimatum and tell Putin that he has one month to leave Ukraine or prepare to go to war.
Then these so-called peace negotiations would actually have a fair start. How can you say you're having Peace negotiations with no ceasefire? What kind of peace negotiations happen in a country that is an ally of your enemy? Belarus is helping Russia by sending it's own troops to help Russia. Belarus just approved to have nuclear weapons!
Unfortunately these sanctions and the Ukranian brave resistence will not stop Ukraine from falling nor will impose a significant threat to the Russian's economy. Why would Putin stop after successfully annexing Ukraine and Crimea?
Putin has started his master plan to rebuild the USSR.
Putin threatened the whole world with nuclear war if any country intervenes and the Western countries are showing weakness.
Why would he stop?
Putting and his oligarchs won't feel a thing. They're going to continue to be rich and they will have cryptocurrency to free freely exchange currency. The Russian population will suffer however they will blame the USA.
Wake up America!
Putin is a dangerous unhinged egomaniac in control of the biggest nuclear weapon in the world and he won't stop because you you have proven to be weak. He still has 14 years in power! Plenty of time to accomplish his goals.
Good time to buy Bitcoin and Ruble.
When they destroy the UN, I will have my own province.
I just can't believe how much the world HATES Hitler, yet is going bonkers for white nationalism in Ukraine.
Mind boggling.
Pls stop harmful, killing …..have it not been torturing. enough for diseases,sickness ? I have been praying to be in concious..right .mindful.

With the backing of China I’m sure they’ll be just fine unfortunately

Restrictions are stupid, the Canadian government is imposing restrictions in Russia to help Ukrainians while harming Canadians, and this my friends is stupid! Trudeau put some sense in your stupid policies.
What about the ROTHSCHILD FAMILY 👪, THAT REGGIM MUST CHANGE,
🇺🇸 America must sanctions Their FATHER'S, ROTHSCHILD
so what? you started a war with your own shadow? began to terrorize the Russians in your country? who have not even seen weapons in their lives. I am more and more convinced that President Putin is doing everything right. this is how you need to act against your fascism.
Who else is looking forward to Johnson's Britain being sanctioned by America for failing to impose effective sanctions on Russia? Don't see what EU could do to hurt us more than the oven-ready Brexit!
Suddenly all this Russian money and I might add Chinese money is dirty? What disgusts me about the whole sanctions thing is the righteous indignation displayed by EU Nations, NATO, and the 'message' they are sending to Russia by seizing these disgusting opulent Icons of wealth, shutting down bank accounts, making it impossible to do trade, etc. As far as I'm aware these oligarchs have been laundering dirty money across the world for years! the EU, the banks, NATO governments must all have known this, yet they've done nothing about it because it was lining their pockets, that's the truth of it. The trillions in dirty money these institutions have knowingly handled are what has helped fund this war. They could have done something about this decade ago. I wonder if all the dirty money from the CCP/China circulating financial institutions is somehow a bit 'cleaner'? The billions spent on buying up UK property and huge donations to our educational institutions are they going to be properly investigated? Somehow I think not! It's still making a lot of rich people much much richer.
!!! 28.2.2022: A black day! As a Swiss citizen, I am deep ashamed for our Bundesrat, which reveals the holy neutrality of Switzerland.
In the Federal Constitution is clearly written: "Article 185 external and internal security: 1 The Federal Council meets measures to safeguard the external safety, independence and neutrality of Switzerland. 2 He meets measures to safeguard internal security."
About the heads of the sovereign, the Federal Council decides directly to give up this centuries old tradition! That's just a sacrilege. Russia has never hurt Switzerland, a scandal. Our country could be an island of peace at which all parties could advise themselves. And now this possibility has disappeared. Catastrophic, a shame for our fatherland. !!!
USSR was dismantled into 21 countries by foreign powers in 1991.
Why not sanctions against this foreign power?
So sanctions do work but only if they are green-lighted by the US. All the UN sanctions and resolutions against Israel for crimes against the Palestinians have all fallen by the wayside thanks to the US.
Nuke Russia and china already
🇺🇸 and NATO invincible.. Russia weak and scared of nukes Russia pathetic
Whatever the sactions are they need to be tightened because a man like Putin is gambling on the Fact the West don't have the balls to esculate the whole affair.

World vil defy these sanctions if Putin sells Oil at irrestiblevdiscount rate.
western double standard is not fair
What if Russia could afford to not export fossil fuels and stick it to all those imposing sanctions.
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.
"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
That thumbnail picture.
SHE really ought to have held off taking testosterone
shell, as they worked in russia, they still work, and BP. and payments are accepted by cards. just someone wants to shout loudly, wait until everyone runs away, and skim cream.

The Japanese government is still pursuing profits without withdrawing from oil and natural gas projects from Sakhalin, Russia. The facts can be easily verified by searching the keywords Sakhalin, natural gas, and Japan.
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.
Beyond President Biden and his son, the list of sanctioned Americans includes Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, CIA Director William Burns, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Duleep Singh, Director of the Agency for International Development Samantha Powers, First Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Adewale Adeyemo and President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Export-Import Bank Reta Joe Lewis.
Too many people on this godforsaken rock.
Sanctions on Russia akin to ‘economic weapons of mass destruction,'
“When fully unleashed, sanctions, too, are weapons of mass destruction. They may not topple buildings or collapse bridges, but they destroy firms, financial institutions, livelihoods, and even lives. Like military WMDs (weapons of mass destruction), they inflict pain indiscriminately, striking both the culpable and the innocent. And if they are used too widely, they could reverse the process of globalization that has allowed the modern world to prosper,”
here's what the Russians think about sanctions https://youtu.be/Vx0bBnFv75U

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
Somebody should take action/sanction against America what it did in Syria, Where r u UN where were ur human rights at that when usa killed thousands of innocent people none of countries came to sanctionise america
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..
it is really sad that Americans are so clueless/ignorant…

the uk and the ridiculous boris johnson is doing more harm to the uk with his sanctions against russia – and now he wants to spend uk taxpayers money on weapons to send to the ukraine instead of spending that money to tackle poverty in the uk – HE HAS TO GO
this all came about by the west breaking its promise not to expand nato eastwards – what did the west do? put nato forces smack on the russian border – of course russia are going to react – the ukrainians should be looking at their corrupt leaders
