On Wednesday, the U.S. authorities extended sanctions against Russia. The U.S. President Barack Obama explained this decision by the fact that Moscow, according to Washington, didn’t take steps to resolve the situation in the Ukraine.

They, in particular, will be denied to have access to the U.S. financial markets and American entities and individuals will be prohibited to grant loans to these companies for more than 90 days.
