In a statement, the White House said Russia's incursion in Crimea
undermined "democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten
its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity."
The sanctions are intended to "impose costs on named individuals who wield influence in the Russian government and those responsible for the deteriorating situation in Ukraine," the White House added. "We stand ready to use these authorities in a direct and targeted fashion as events warrant."
