The U.S. Treasury Department announced a series of new sanctions against Russia Thursday, which will be aimed at targets who have skirted previous penalties against Moscow that were put in place after Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Treasury announced the sanctions as Russian troops continue to gather on the border with Ukraine where they are conducting military drills. Putin has already annexed Crimea, and there are fears a broader invasion could occur.
