Sanctions on Russia

Press Release

President Barack Obama on Monday froze the U.S. assets of seven Russians close to President Vladimir Putin. The European Union announced similar sanctions one day after voters in Crimea supported a Russian-backed referendum to secede from Ukraine. "The entire world has got to stand up to Putin. We've got to deal with sanctions," Sen. Bernie Sanders had said in a television interview last Friday night. He said freezing Russians' assets was one possible recourse. "There are a number of things that you could do. But this is what you don't do: You don't go to war. You don't sacrifice lives of young people in this country as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan."
