Biden: We'll impose sanctions on Russia’s elites and their family members - they share the corrupt gains of the Kremlin policies

We’ll also impose sanctions on Russia’s elites and their family members. They share the corrupt gains of the Kremlin policies and should share in the pain as well, US President Joe Biden announced.

According to him, the US worked with Germany to prevent Nord Stream 2 from continuing.

"If Russia goes further with this invasion, we stand prepared to go further as with sanctions," Biden said.

As it is known, Germany has announced that it is suspending the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline due to Moscow's actions in eastern Ukraine.

For the record, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the "independence" of the so-called people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.
