Preventing Escalation in Europe: New Financial Sanctions on Russia

This act aims to pressure Russia to end the conflict with Ukraine by imposing new financial sanctions. Citizens might experience indirect effects on the global economy and stability, though direct consequences primarily impact financial institutions dealing with Russian entities.
Key points
Foreign banks providing financial services to sanctioned Russian entities may be prohibited from opening or maintaining accounts in the U.S.
The act requires the Treasury Secretary to determine if Russian energy companies like Gazprom, Rosneft, and Lukoil should be subject to these sanctions.
The U.S. President can temporarily waive these sanctions if deemed important for national interest or conflict resolution.
The act will terminate when Russia ceases destabilizing activities in Ukraine or after five years from its enactment.
