The United States and allies are poised to announce new sanctions, including a ban on all new investments in Russia, to punish the Kremlin for alleged atrocities against civilians committed by its forces in Ukraine.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the United Nations to do more to stop Moscow’s aggression, saying Russia was abusing its veto powers at the Security Council to block peace efforts. Russia has repeatedly denied the accusations of killing civilians, which have been documented and sparked international condemnation.
