This, according to RIA Novosti, is stated in a joint statement by the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, and American leader Joe Biden following the talks in Washington.

It is noted that the EU and the US are deepening work to contain the circumvention of sanctions, including by expanding the powers to close Russia's access to all resources that can support its "war machine".

Thus, the European Union and the United States are taking steps that are directed against additional actors from third countries around the world in order to “stop” military support for Russia from anywhere in the world.

Earlier, the US Treasury Department reported that the United States and its allies froze the assets of Russians subject to sanctions, totaling about $58 billion.
