The United States will introduce a new package of sanctions against Russia on the anniversary of the start of the conflict in Ukraine - February 24, US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“We will also increase pressure on companies based in China or Chinese businesses in Europe that we believe are taking actions to circumvent sanctions,” Nuland added.

She explained that sanctions against Russia would affect a number of banks that were seen to bypass Western restrictions, and would also be announced not only by the United States, but by the entire G7 group.

Reuters, citing sources, wrote that the EU could ban more "Russian propaganda media" and exclude more Russian banks from the SWIFT interbank information transfer system. Bloomberg wrote that the EU countries intend to impose sanctions against Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank, as well as ban Russian citizens from holding positions in European infrastructure companies.
