Well. it is also possible that those sanctions would include expanded sanctions on the largest russian financial institution that has already previously been sanctioned and new sanctions on alpha bank, another russian lender as well. it is important to note that as all of these sanctions are coming down, they will be happening once again in coordination with the group of seven nations as well as the european union. that is something that the biden administration ascribed to do throughout this pr...
