The U.S. joined the European Union in criticizing Russia for sentencing jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny to nine additional years in a maximum-security prison on fraud and contempt of court charges and fining him 1.2 million rubles.

Biden reiterated his warning to China against supporting Russia amid the conflict in Ukraine. I made no threats [to Chinese President Xi Jinping], but I pointed out the number of American and foreign corporations who left Russia as a consequence of [Russias] barbaric behavior, Biden said.

Saturday, March 26 The U.S. announced that it coordinated with the United Kingdom and Canada to impose new sanctions on Myanmar that focus on senior military officials as well as businesses and people linked to the arms trade, including two businesses controlled by sanctioned arms dealer Tay Zaw. We will continue to impose costs on the military regime and those who support it until it ceases the violence and restores Burmas path to democracy, Blinken said. The Treasury Department announced new sanctions on six Nigerian nationals connected with Nigerias armed group Boko Haram.
