The US introduced a new round of sanctions on Russia today (6 April) such as banning American investments in Russia.

Sanctions were also placed on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s two daughters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s wife and daughter, and senior members of Russia’s security council.
