charge putin with war crimes

 

"Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States, the European Union,[1] and other countries,[2] introduced or significantly expanded sanctions to include Vladimir Putin and other government members,[3] and cut off "selected Russian banks" from SWIFT,[4] triggering the 2022 Russian financial crisis and massive international boycott of Russia and Belarus."

Sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian individuals, companies and officials

First round: March/April 2014

"On 6 March 2014, U.S. president Barack Obama, invoking, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act, signed an executive order declaring a national emergency and ordering sanctions, including travel bans and the freezing of U.S. assets, against not-yet-specified individuals who had "asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine" and whose actions were found, inter alia, to "undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine"."
