A number of these countries — including the US, Canada, Switzerland, and EU countries — have issued sanctions against Russia, Russian oligarchs, and Putin himself that are all contributing to the collapse of the Russian ruble.
Russia invaded Ukraine last month, but its forces were stalled by logistical errors and fierce opposition from Ukrainian troops. Russia has since stepped up attacks on Ukrainian cities, with international observers accusing Russian forces of targeting civilians.
Harrowing video and photos show the devastation caused by Russian bombardments, including a disturbing clip of a Ukrainian family reportedly killed by a Russian mortar attack while trying to flee.
