US sanctions Putin, Lavrov, others for military operations in Ukraine

The US placed sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other senior officials on Friday for Moscow's military operations in Ukraine.

The White House said earlier that Washington would join the EU to sanction the Russian leader and its top diplomat as well as members of the Russian national security team.

"President Putin and Minister Lavrov are directly responsible for Russia’s unprovoked and unlawful further invasion of Ukraine, a democratic sovereign state," the Treasury Department said in a statement.
