Russia now has the most sanctions of any country in the world, database shows

report from Castellum.ai, a global sanctions-tracking database. Russia has now become the target of nearly 3,000 new sanctions after dozens of nations condemned President Vladimir Putin’s attempts to overthrow the Ukrainian government. With the combination of sanctions against Russia that had already been put in place before the invasion as well as the latest penalties, Russia has racked up a historic 5,532 sanctions.Russian sanctions even surpassed Iran who faces over 3,600 sanctions mostly for its continued efforts to manufacture a nuclear program as well as its financial support of well-known terrorist organizations. The United States and its allies have retaliated against Russia with a series of financial penalties, reflecting a massive change in how conflicts can be waged in a world that is globalized, digital and highly dependent on accessing money electronically.There have been economic targets in the past that depended on military maneuvers such as factory bombings, blockades and the capture of strategic resources.

Ukraine Airbnb bookings: Users paying for stays to help hosts

FOX NEWS - Airbnb users found another way to give back to Ukrainians as the conflict with Russia continues – they're booking stays.Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky tweeted Thursday that users are booking stays in Ukraine that "they don’t intend to stay in" just so they can funnel money directly to hosts whose country has been under attack by Russian forces since last week. Since the war erupted, Airbnb has temporarily waived all guest and host fees on all bookings in Ukraine. This means that Airbnb is not profiting from any stays in the country.

McDonald's, PepsiCo urged to cease Russia operations by NY pension fund

McDonald's, PepsiCo and others to consider pausing or ending business operations in Russia amid the country's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.The fund's trustee, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, warned in a series of letters that companies who continue to operate in Russia and invest in Russian assets "face significant and growing legal, compliance, operational, human rights and personnel, and reputational risks." "Pausing or ending McDonald’s business operations in Russia would address various investment risks associated with the Russian market and play an important role in condemning Russia’s role in fundamentally undermining the international order that is vital to a strong and healthy global economy," DiNapoli wrote in a letter addressed to McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski reviewed by FOX Business. The comptroller's office estimates that the $280 billion fund has about $110.8 million in public equity investments, including direct holdings and co-mingled funds in Russian companies. The New York Common Retirement Fund's stakes in McDonald's and PepsiCo were valued at approximately $410 million and $501 million, respectively, as of the end of 2021, according to its latest 13F filing.McDonald's has a total of 847 restaurant locations in Russia and 108 locations in Ukraine.

Pain at the pump: Gas prices rising to levels not seen for over a decade; here's what you need to know

A driver returns a fuel nozzle to a gas pump at a gas station (Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images) PHOENIX - Americans are feeling the impact of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as gas prices are rising to levels not seen for over a decade, according to officials with AAA.Here's what you need to know as drivers continue to feel the pain at the pump.According to the AAA website, the national average price for a gallon of regular is $4.065, as of March 7.However, not all states are paying the same price for gas. Drivers in Texas, for example, can expect to pay around $3.73 per gallon of regular gas, while drivers in California can expect to pay around $5.34 for each gallon of regular, the most expensive in the U.S."It’s unfortunate we’re seeing prices as high as they are because it’s really impacting a lot of families," said Aldo Vasquez with AAA Arizona.During the same time in 2021, officials with AAA say the national average price for a gallon of regular is $2.76.The highest recorded average price for a gallon of regular, according to AAA officials, was $4.114 in July 2008.According to a statement issued by AAA officials on March 7, crude prices are soaring because of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and that is translating to higher gas prices."It’s definitely one of the stronger stressors on the global oil market at this point, and as long as this conflict continues, it’s likely we’re going to see these prices go up," said Vasquez.Despite the announcement of a coordinated release of crude oil from strategic reserves of the U.S.

Ukraine has made a ‘desperate’ plea for warplanes amid Russian invasion. Here’s why

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a “desperate” plea to the United States to help Kyiv get more warplanes to fight Russia’s invasion and retain control of its airspace.U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Washington has given a “green light” to the idea and is currently “very, very actively” looking at a proposal under which Ukraine’s neighbour Poland would supply Kyiv with Soviet-era fighters and in turn receive American F-16s to make up for their loss.However, the proposition is fraught with uncertainty and Poland has been less than enthusiastic about it in public, largely because Russia has warned that supporting Ukraine’s air force would be seen in Moscow as participating in the conflict and open up suppliers to possible retaliation.
