By U.S. lawmakers offered mixed responses to President Biden’s latest announcement of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described the newest sanctions as “sweeping and catastrophic,” noting that the president “has made clear throughout Russia’s escalation that we will continue to impose costs on Russia that will leave it weakened in every way.” And in a sign that Biden’s sanctions fell short among Republicans, the Senate GOP leader said, “Congress would support truly devastating sanctions against the Kremlin and its enablers.”
