The U.S. on Friday expanded its Russia sanctions to include a motorcycle group favored by Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as individuals and entities linked to the pro-Russian separatist movement in Ukraine.
The Treasury Department added 24 individuals and entities to a list that bars travel and bans financial contacts with U.S.-connected people and businesses. The new sanctions show the U.S. is ready to put further pressure on Russia, even after a collapse in the value of the ruble earlier this week.
