US President Joe Biden has announced a new series of economic sanctions and that includes targeting Putin’s own daughters amongst several others.
According to reports from local media outlets, there is a growing amount of pressure on Putin from all directions and the US hopes the new strategy would actually end up making a U-turn on the war.
As it is, the current Western sanctions in place have already taken a major hit on the country’s economy which experts believe will certainly take more than several years to fix.
But this around, the US and its allies from Europe have planned on targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own personal family and his two daughters seem to be high on the target list.
Both Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova have been outlined and sanctioned by Biden. Both the girls are Putin’s daughters from his former wife named Lyudmila Putina.
“We have plenty of reasons to believe that Putin’s daughters, leading oligarchs, and their cronies have hidden their wealth in our country’s financial system”- he continued.
On the other hand, similar reports spoke about how authorities in both the US and Spain had seized plenty of assets belonging to Russian oligarchs who are close friends with Putin.
“We are confident that these sanctions will alter the course of the war”- the US reiterated again.
Just recently, the Ukrainian President has reportedly spoken to the United Nations Security Council and informed them of the atrocious war crimes taking place in the country where mass graves and torture rooms were found with civilian bodies having their hands tied behind their backs.
Similarly, there are growing reports of increasing war crimes and mass displacement as airstrikes continue to pound the eastern part of the country as we speak.
President Biden is also soon expected to sign another order that prohibits any Americans from making investments in the Russian nation.
