BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: New sanctions against RussiaClose menu

The United States is imposing sanctions on Russia's two biggest banks

The White House and the US Justice Department have unveiled sweeping new sanctions against Russia, triggered by allegations of war crimes in Ukraine. The new sanctions target Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle, including his daughters. We get more from our correspondent in Washington.  

In the meantime, the Ukrainian authorities have appealed to residents of eastern Ukraine to flee while they still can, ahead of the expected Russian offensive in the Donbass. We bring more personal stories from across Ukraine as the fighting continues.

The number of Ukrainian refugees to have crossed the border with Poland has reached 2.5 million. We have brought together three volunteers  to share their experiences of helping the arrivals.
