WASHINGTON – The United States (US) is set to issue a wide range of sanctions against Russia.
The move would be retaliation for cyber-attacks aimed at the US, including alleged interference in the 2020 presidential elections.
The sanctions target more than 30 Russian entities and include the expulsion of at least 10 individuals from the US.
Diplomats are reportedly among those targeted.
The administration of US President Joe Biden is also expected to issue an executive order barring US financial institutions from purchasing ruble-denominated bonds from June.
The sanctions would come at a tense time for US-Russia relations.(BBC)
