The United States will impose new sanctions on a transnational network of 14 individuals and 28 companies that brokered and procured military technology for Russia's aggression in Ukraine, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said. On the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Bali, she clarified that part of the sanctions against the Russian economy will remain in force even after the end of the war. Ending the war in Ukraine is the best way to end the global economic turmoil. For this, pressure should be placed on Russia, Yellen added. 
The host Indonesia has called for talks to resolve the conflict but, like other G-20 members China, South Africa and India, has largely avoided criticizing Russia directly, Reuters reports.


The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that Ukrainians are increasingly confident of achieving victory over Russia. Zelensky announced that the country would respond to Russian missile and air attacks, and to artillery fire against Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podoliak told UNIAN that despite heavy Russian attacks in the Donetsk region, Kyiv is developing plans for the release of the blockade of the Sea of ​​Azov, the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhie and the liberation of the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
