U.S. officials warn this will only hasten Europe''s energy diversification.

Whatever the consequences for Russia of the new sanctions that President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday, the invasion of Ukraine and ensuing global stand-off will further darken the outlook for the U.S. economy. Russian President Vladimir Putins decision to employ a so-called salami military tactic by sending troops into a slice of Ukraine only adds to the uncertainty for global and American economies still recovering from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The conflict is likely to push up oil prices, at least in the very near term, adding to the already worrisome level of inflation. It remains to be seen how much pain the new U.S. sanctions targeting Russian banks and individuals will inflict on the Russian economy.

America and European nations have imposed sanctions on Russia, but the nation and those in power are used to it, according to US Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman. The difficult thing about sanctions at this stage of the game is that Putin and his cronies, the plutocracy that runs Russia, have had a long time to get used to life under sanctions, he told Sky News Australia.
