U.S. Creates Task Force to Seize Russian Assets

“The Justice Department announced the creation of a task force to go after billionaire oligarchs who have aided President Vladimir Putin in his invasion of Ukraine, part of an effort by the United States to seize and freeze the assets of those who have violated sanctions,” the New York Times reports.

“The task force will marshal the resources of various federal agencies to enforce the sweeping economic measures that the United States has imposed as Russia continues its unprovoked assault on Ukraine.”
