The United States, along with its allies and partners, works to ensure the Russian Federation and the Lukashenka regime in Belarus pay a severe economic and diplomatic price for their unprovoked aggression against Ukraine.

With the allies and partners, the USA has taken these actions:

  • Applied powerful sanctions on Russia’s largest financial institutions and its sovereign wealth fund.

  • Made it difficult for Russia to find funding for its war beyond its borders.

  • Choked off Russian imports of key technologies.

  • Targeted the financial networks and assets of Russian and Belarusian elites, including President Putin and members of his security council.

ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE-

President Putin may have assumed that the United States and our allies were bluffing when we warned of massive, unprecedented consequences.
 
But – as President Biden likes to say – big nations can’t bluff.
 
The United States doesn’t bluff.
 
And President Putin has gravely miscalculated.

There is nowhere for individuals or entities who support the unprovoked war to hide. The USA has already seen the effects of these actions, as the Russian and Belarusian economies stumble. With the allies and partners, the USA will continue to take strong economic and diplomatic actions.

The USA is also working with partners, including the Ukrainian authorities and international institutions, to pursue justice and accountability for war crimes and other atrocities committed in Ukraine. The USA will use every tool available to promote accountability for these acts, including criminal prosecutions.

These U.S. actions, to date, hold Russia and Belarus accountable.
