美国周五将对以下国家实施500多项制裁俄罗斯在俄罗斯发动袭击两年之际，美国及其支持者和战争机器乌克兰财政部发言人说。
这将是俄罗斯总统上任以来最大的单笔投资弗拉基米尔·普京政府官员说。
官员们表示，美国财政部和国务院将推出的制裁措施将包括额外措施，旨在惩罚克里姆林宫在俄罗斯反对派领导人阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼(Alexei Navalny)之死中扮演的角色。
跟随一个周四会见纳瓦尔尼的遗孀和女儿在旧金山，美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)预告了这一行动，称他的政府将在明天“宣布对普京实施制裁，普京应对他的死亡负责。”

周四早些时候，美国国务院一名高级官员称即将实施的制裁是“毁灭性的”。
“其中一些将针对与纳瓦利内之死直接相关的人。负责政治事务的副国务卿维多利亚·纽兰在一次活动中表示:“但绝大多数制裁都是为了进一步削弱普京的战争机器，弥补他一直以来逃避的制裁机制中的漏洞。”
了解计划的官员说，许多措施将针对俄罗斯国防部门，包括一些已经受到美国制裁的实体。
官员们补充说，那些因纳瓦尔尼在一名偏远的俄罗斯囚犯中死亡而实施的惩罚预计将针对被认为在纳瓦尔尼的拘留和死亡中发挥作用的个人。
在俄罗斯的战争中乌克兰美国一直试图通过打击俄罗斯经济来削弱其军事实力，限制其进口关键技术以支持其国防工业综合体的能力，降低其出口价值，并切断俄罗斯与国际银行体系的联系。
尽管做出了历史性的努力，但俄罗斯的经济在过去两年中有所增长，部分原因是该国与中国和印度等伙伴的稳定贸易。克里姆林宫还设法储备了一些武器，从伊朗和朝鲜采购一些武器。这两个国家也受到西方的严重制裁。
“(弗拉基米尔·普京)和他的骗子们找到了很多逃避制裁的方法，”纽兰承认道。“这就是为什么当你看到我们将在几天后推出的一揽子计划时，它非常侧重于逃税、帮助逃税的节点、网络和国家——无论是否愿意——以及支持和允许这种逃税的银行。”
纽兰还预测，政府未来还将对纳瓦尔尼的死亡实施额外处罚。
她说:“我预计随着时间的推移，我们将能够对直接导致纳瓦尔尼死亡的人实施越来越多的制裁。”
英国周三宣布了对六名俄罗斯官员的制裁。
US to impose 'crushing' sanctions on Russia 2 years after Ukraine invasion, officials say
The U.S. on Friday will impose more than 500 sanctions onRussia, its enablers, and its war machine as the world marks two years since Russia attackedUkraine, a Treasury Department spokesperson said.
This would be the largest single tranche since the start of Russian PresidentVladimir Putin's invasion, administration officials said.
The sanctions, to be rolled out by the Treasury Department and State Department, will include additional measures intended to punish the Kremlin for its role in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, officials said.
Following ameeting on Thursday with Navalny's widow and daughterin San Francisco, President Joe Biden previewed the action, saying his administration would be "announcing sanctions against Putin, who is responsible for his death, tomorrow."
Earlier Thursday, a high-level State Department official described the pending sanctions as "crushing."
"Some of them will be targeted at folks directly involved in Navalany's death. The vast majority of them though are designed to further attrite Putin's war machine -- to close the gaps in the sanctions regime that he has been able to evade," Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland said speaking at an event in Washington.
Officials familiar with the plans say many of the measures will take aim at Russia's defense sector, including a number of entities already sanctioned by the U.S.
Those imposed as punishment for Navalny's death in a remote Russian prisoner are expected to target individuals thought to have played a part in his detention and demise, officials added.
Throughout Russia's war onUkraine, the U.S. has sought to weaken Moscow's military by targeting its economy -- limiting its ability to import key technology to fuel its defense-industrial complex, reduce the value of its exports, and cut Russia off from the international banking system.
Despite the historic effort, Russia's economy has grown over the last two years due in part to the country's steady trade with partners like China and India. The Kremlin has also managed to keep its arsenals stocked, resorting to sourcing some weapons from Iran and North Korea -- two countries that are also heavily sanctioned by the West.
"[Vladimir Putin] and his tricksters have found a lot of ways to evade sanctions," Nuland conceded. "That is why when you see this package that we're going to launch in a couple days, it is very heavily focused on evasion, on nodes and networks and countries that help evade -- willingly or otherwise -- and on the banks that support and allow that kind of evasion."
Nuland also predicted the administration would also impose additional penalties tied to Navalny's death in the future.
"I anticipate as time goes on we will be able to put forward more and more sanctions on folks directly responsible for Navalny's death," she said.
The U.K. announced its own sanctions against six Russian officials on Wednesday.
