On Friday, the United States unveiled new sanctions against Russia and its allies, coinciding with the first anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The sanctions include new export restrictions and duties aimed at weakening Moscow's ability to continue the war.
Washington also said it would provide more weapons worth $2 billion to Kiev as it prepares to launch an offensive in the spring.
US President Joe Biden and G7 leaders will hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today to discuss additional aid that can be provided to the Ukrainians.
The United States joined the G7 countries in plans to sign sanctions that will target 200 individuals and entities and dozens of Russian financial institutions, in addition to the Russian defense and energy industries.
The White House said in a statement that the sanctions were directed at targets in Russia and "third country actors" across Europe, Asia and the Middle East that support Russia's war effort.
