In a joint statement, the European Union, U.S. and other Western countries announced they will commit to five measures in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The measures are: cutting off selected Russian banks from the SWIFT international payments system, imposing restrictions on Russia’s Central Bank, limiting the sale of golden passports that allow wealthy Russians to become citizens of Western countries and exploit their financial systems, launching a trans-Atlantic task force to track down the assets of sanctioned Russians, and stepping up coordination against Russian disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare.
