The USA announced that they are preparing new economic sanctions against Russia after the civilian bodies were found in the city of Bucha, near Kyiv.

White House spokesperson Jen Psaki answered journalists’ questions at the daily press conference.

Confirming the news in the press that the USA will announce new sanctions against Russia on April 6, Psaki said, “These sanctions will target Russian government officials, family members, institutions and organizations affiliated with the Russian state.”

Pointing out that they will apply these sanctions simultaneously with their European allies Psaki also mentioned that sanctions will include investment restrictions on Russia.

“We share Zelensky’s disappointment that Russia is still a permanent member of the UNSC, and we cannot see any change in this. We are currently trying to assist Ukraine in many areas. One of them is to provide military equipment directly to Ukraine.” Psaki said.
