Russia takes economic measures against US, other countries
MOSCOW, Feb. 28 (YPA) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday issued a decree on the application of special economic measures against the United States and the countries that have acceded to it.
The Kremlin press service said in the statement that Russian resident Putin signed a decree “on the implementation of special economic measures in connection with the unfriendly steps of the United States of America, foreign countries and international organizations that have joined them.”
In the past few days, Western countries have imposed a package of strict economic sanctions on Russia, in response to Moscow’s launch of a special military operation in Ukraine.
Most European countries recently closed their airspace to Russian airlines, in addition to imposing strict economic sanctions targeting Russia’s banking sector, in an attempt to pressure it to stop its military operation in Ukraine.
