WASHINGTON: <\/strong>The United States will announce sanctions on Russia as soon as Thursday for alleged election interference and malicious cyber activity, targeting several individuals and entities, people familiar the matter said.<\/p>\n

The sanctions, in which 30 entities are expected to be blacklisted, will be tied with orders expelling about 10 Russian officials from the United States, one of the people said.<\/p>\n

The United States is also expected to announce aggressive new measures targeting the country\u2019s sovereign debt through restrictions on US\u00a0financial institutions\u2019 ability to trade such debt, according to another source.<\/p>\n

The White House, the US\u00a0State Department and the US\u00a0Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

The action will add a new chill to the already frosty relations between Washington and Moscow, which has tested the West\u2019s patience with a military build-up near Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The wide-ranging sanctions would come partly in response to a cybersecurity breach affecting software made by SolarWinds Corp that the US government has said was likely orchestrated by Russia. The breach gave hackers access to thousands of companies and government offices that used the company\u2019s products.<\/p>\n

Microsoft President Brad Smith described the attack, which was identified in December, as \u201cthe largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States also intends to punish Moscow for alleged interference in the 2020 US\u00a0presidential election. In a report last month, US\u00a0intelligence agencies said Russian President Vladimir Putin likely directed efforts to try to swing the election to then-President Donald Trump and away from now-President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Biden has also vowed to take action on reports that Russia offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill US\u00a0troops in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The expected moves by the Biden administration are likely to exacerbate tensions in a relationship that slumped to a new post-Cold War low last month after Biden said he thought Putin was a \u201ckiller.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a call on Tuesday, Biden told Putin that the United States would act \u201cfirmly\u201d to defend its interests in response to those actions, according to US\u00a0officials\u2019 account of the call.<\/p>\n

Biden also proposed a meeting with Putin \u201cin a third country\u201d that could allow the leaders to find areas to work together.<\/p>\n

In the past few weeks, Washington and its NATO allies have been alarmed by a large build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine and in Crimea, the peninsula that Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hostility and unpredictability of America\u2019s actions force us, in general, to be prepared for the worst scenarios,\u201d Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters last week, anticipating the new sanctions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
