Sanctions swing toward Putin himself as Ukraine anger grows

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — With Russian President Vladimir Putin the latest target of sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, diplomatic appeals are coming second to imposing financial and military pain on Moscow as global condemnation grows. The Biden administration says it is sending Ukraine up to $350 million in arms and other defensive supplies from U.S. Department of Defense stockpiles, with another $250 million possible. In cities around the world, people spilled into the streets to protest the invasion. “This war will last, and all the crises that go with it will have durable consequences,” French President Emmanuel Macron warned.
