Russia will be hit with new sanctions worth billions of pounds, after Ukraine’s president urged Western leaders to punish Moscow over alleged war crimes.
The US is set to unveil a new package of sanctions later today, including a ban on new investment in Russia and tougher measures against Moscow’s financial institutions and state-owned enterprises.
Meanwhile, EU leaders will meet to approve plans to ban the purchase of Russian coal and stop Russian ships from entering European ports.
The measures come after international condemnation over the treatment of Ukrainians in the town of Bucha, where more than 300 bodies have been discovered, including some with their hands tied behind their backs.
