U.S. aims new sanctions at Russian military supply chains
sanctions packages related to the war in Ukraine, penalizing more than 150 companies and individuals that officials said were profiting from Russia's invasion and their proximity to the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions are part of the U.S. effort «to target Russia's military supply chains and deprive Putin of the equipment, technology, and services he needs to wage his barbaric war on Ukraine,» Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement. «Today's actions show our global reach in imposing severe costs on Putin's oligarchs,» she added. The Treasury Department's sanctions targeted nearly 100 Russian military-linked elites and individuals — including some in Turkey, Georgia, Finland and the United Arab Emirates — involved with Russia's industrial, financial and technology industries.

Grant made a vain attempt to plead his case—“Hang it, officer, these animals of mine are thoroughbreds, and there is no holding them"—then drove to the station. There, at least, the president avoided the indignity of a mugshot, which would not be widely used until about a decade later.
