Washington — The U.S. on Sunday levied new sanctions against Russian elites and its largest state-controlled television stations as part of continued efforts to impose costs on Moscow for its war in Ukraine.
The latest round of sanctions from the U.S., European Union and Group of 7 were announced after President Biden and G7 leaders convened a virtual meeting, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also joined, to "reinforce our shared commitment to strengthen Ukraine's position on the battlefield and at the negotiating table," according to the White House.
"The G7 and Ukraine stand united in this difficult time and in their quest to ensure Ukraine's democratic, prosperous future. We remain united in our resolve that President Putin must not win his war against Ukraine," G7 leaders said in a statement following the meeting. "We owe it to the memory of all those who fought for freedom in the Second World War, to continue fighting for it today, for the people of Ukraine, Europe and the global community."

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
