Today, in close coordination with our Allies and partners, I am announcing the first tranche of sanctions to impose costs on Russia in response to yesterday’s actions.
We will continue to escalate sanctions as Russia escalates.
We are implementing full blocking sanctions on two large Russian financial institutions — VEB and their military bank. And we are implementing comprehensive sanctions on Russian sovereign debt.
That means we’ve cut off the Russian government from western financing.
It can no longer raise money from the west — and cannot trade its new debt in our markets or European markets.
Starting tomorrow — and continuing in the days ahead — we will also be imposing sanctions on Russian elites and their family members.
They share in the corrupt gains of the Kremlin’s policies and should share in the pain as well.
Because of Russia’s actions, we’ve worked with Germany to ensure Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.
