BRUSSELS (AP) — The United States, United Kingdom and the European Union are set Wednesday to impose new punishing sanctions targeting Russia including a ban on all new investment in the country after evidence of torture and killings emerged in recent days from a town outside of Kyiv. The videos and images captured around Bucha have unleashed a wave of indignation among Western allies, who have worked out new sanctions as a response to the killings of civilians. The European Commission proposed a ban on coal imports and the United States and Western allies plan to impose a ban on all new investment in Russia.
