fresh sanctions have caused the ruble to plummet and has done huge damage to the russian economy.

my understanding was that most of the sanction options against russia had already been implimented? Why did they wait until now to do this? it seems that the democrats are only pulling their finger out now because they know trump will come to power in January and yank away all the support for ukraine.

what's the point in doing this now?

I can only assume they thought they were going to win the election and had more time.

 

It should all have been done a long time ago of course.

Always good to have further measures one can apply, especially if your opponent knows it. Plus an increase in Russian ferocity since Ukraine was given permission to use donated missiles properly, and since the Trump claim of ending the conflict is expected, is probably a good time to respond.
