The United States has imposed sanctions on Russian officials and companies accused of profiting from president Putin's efforts to undermine the West. The list includes his bodyguards, son-in-law and oligarchs close to Mr. Putin. The White House spokesperson is Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Today's sanctions and the totality of the administration's actions which are in keeping with Congress' wishes prove the president is absolutely correct when he says no one has been tougher on Russia. We want a positive relationship with the Russian government, but for this to happen, there must be a significant change in their behaviour. The Russian Foreign Ministry described the moves as an absurdity that would hit ordinary Americans and destroy economic cooperation.

Now Douma is again under attack and the rebels have reportedly shelled civilians in nearby Damascus.
