The United States continues to consider options for new sanctions against the Russian Federation, it is possible that such measures can be taken as early as this week, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Tuesday.

"There could be… I think that we're still doing considerations and running a process for additional sanctions, but there are some under consideration, yes," she said, answering a journalist's question about whether the United States could announce additional sanctions against Russia this week.

Psaki also announced the results of a video conference between US President Joe Biden and Western allies, which discussed Russia and Ukraine.

"They also discussed their respective diplomatic engagements and their coordinated efforts to continue to impose severe economic costs to hold Russia accountable," the White House spokeswoman said. She said that the leaders agreed to continue to closely coordinate their efforts, including working with and through the G7, EU, and NATO.

The leaders reiterated their commitment to continue providing security, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine in its time of need.
