President Obama expanded U.S. financial sanctions to 20 more Russian officials, businessmen, and a bank, with potential future penalties targeting sectors of the Russian economy. The sanctions aim to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the Ukraine crisis. The U.S. and EU are coordinating economic pressure, with Obama set to consult with EU leaders. The sanctions include entry bans, asset freezes, and business prohibitions with U.S. entities. A new executive order authorizes potential economic sanctions on Russian sectors like financial services and energy.
