“These tough, targeted sanctions in response to Russia’s interference in our elections, its cyber attacks, and other malign activity will hold Putin accountable by imposing real economic costs, and hopefully help deter future Russian aggression,” said Brown. “I applaud President Biden for these important steps, and for once again closely coordinating with our allies to respond forcefully to Russia’s aggressive behavior.”
