As the world comes to terms with Russia launching a military attack on Ukraine, attention turns to how the international community will respond and how far it will go in punishing Vladimir Putin.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the attack a"reckless act by President Putin" and a"terrible day for Ukraine and a dark day for Europe." He added that the EU, G7 and NATO would coordinate closely on Thursday.European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Russia's actions a"barbaric attack" and said she will present EU member states with"massive and strategic" sanctions against Russia for approval later today.
A first wave of sanctions came from the US, EU and UK on Tuesday, though they were limited in scope and criticized for not going very far. It is very likely that fresh sanctions will go further and will target Russia's broad economy in a less compromising manner, possibly going so far as hitting Putin's personal wealth directly.
