The Biden administration plans to spare everyday Russians from the brunt of US export controls if Russia invades Ukraine, and focus on targetting industrial sectors, a White House official said.

“Key people” will also face “massive sanctions,” a top Commerce official said in a separate speech on Friday.

Harrell, who sits on the National Security Council, said the United States was prepared, immediately after an invasion of Ukraine, to impose “crippling financial costs on major Russian financial institutions as well as to impose a range of quite sweeping export controls that will degrade Russian industrial capacity over the mid and long term.”

Harrell said he hoped the hundreds of hours he and his colleagues had spent over the last couple of months developing measures would never see the light of day, but that they are prepared to impose the sweeping measures. Harrell did not detail the sectors, but other White House officials have mentioned aviation, maritime, robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and defence.

“We and our allies have a full range of high-impact sanctions and export controls ready to go, both immediately after a Russian invasion and in waves to follow,” Horne said.

Africa's news leader.The United States has asked that the United Nations Security Council meet publicly on Monday to discuss Russia's 'threatening behavior' against Ukraine and its troop build-upon Ukraine's borders and in Belarus, the US Ambassador to the United Nations said on Thursday. The request should be made by Ukraine 🇺🇦 every time Democrats are in charge of US they pick a fight what's wrong with them 🚮 But Russia is within its borders. They keep on saying Ukraine has every right to join Nato if it wants, Russia has no sayin that. But they have a problem with Russia moving its troops closer to the Ukrainian border, while they are still within Russian borders. Doesn't make sense
