G7 targets Russian military supply chain on invasion anniversary

On the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said before he'll consider peace talks, Russia must meet one condition. Stop shelling, stop killing civilians. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says in the last 12 months, Russia has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children. Uprooted more than 13 million people from their homes, bombed more than 700 hospitals, 2600 schools, and abducted at least 6,000 Ukrainian children. U.

S. officials say Putin shows no signs of backing down. He wants to continue to brutalize the Ukrainian people, wants to continue to shell their cities and towns. And yet, the spirit of the Ukrainians remains unbroken. If anything, it's stronger than ever. That's why the U.S.

, together with the G7, announced new sanctions targeting 83 Russian entities, including banks and wealth management groups and military supply chains, and 22 individuals, including some accused of arms trafficking. Day after day of Russia's atrocities, it's easy to become numb to the heart, to lose our ability to feel shock and outrage. But the U.S. and allies say they won't lose sight of the need to help Ukraine, and the White House announced it's releasing $10 billion in additional aid.
