The sanctions do not, however, freeze the firm&#8217;s assets or make transactions with it illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear who is among the 2,600 Russian and Belarussian citizens facing visa restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The declaration came at the end of a day of diplomatic events in Ukraine, which included visits by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the German Bundestag Speaker, and Mrs. Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Trudeau declared that Canada would deliver fresh weaponry and equipment to Ukraine&#8217;s army, as well as a new set of penalties against Russian individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What Putin needs to grasp is that the West is dead set on achieving its goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We will do everything we can as a world to ensure that he loses because of his unlawful war, escalations, and crossing of red lines by choosing to further invade Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU is working on a sixth wave of sanctions on Russia, but has yet to agree on the measures, which include a gradual ban on Russian oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to diplomats, Hungary is still stopping the measures from being finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU members are divided on how quickly they can reduce their reliance on Russian energy imports. Russia supplies over 40% of Europe&#8217;s natural gas. On the eve of Triumph Day in Russia, which commemorates the Soviet Union&#8217;s victory over Nazi Germany, the new US and Canadian sanctions were announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jill Biden, the first lady of the United States, met with her Ukrainian counterpart Olena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[591],"tags":[605],"class_list":["post-15711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-first-ladies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ukraine: The first ladies gather<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The two first ladies met in a school in Uzhhorod, a border town.
