An employee of a technology company based in Ukraine called on the United States to impose even tougher sanctions on Russia. The reason is, the situation in Ukraine is getting dire and the lives lost are increasing with the aggressive Russian attack.
"Force your government and senators to act more decisively. We don't have days or weeks to wait," said a JustAnswer employee.
JustAnswer is an online question and answer service that has 200 employees in Ukraine and is spread across various regions. The employee, who was not named, said that the situation was getting worse with civilian casualties.
Several small cities in Ukraine have also been occupied in Russia and are said to be on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. Because the supply of food, water, fuel and medical support is getting smaller.
"People are dying every minute here. We are losing a lot of lives," he added, as quoted by Fox News.
In fact, there have been quite a number of sanctions imposed by the US and its allied countries on Russia, but they are expected to be added and intensified. That might force the Russians to stop their attacks.
Meanwhile, various companies have stopped selling their products in Russia, including Apple. This is Apple's latest move to "punish" Russia. Previously they also restricted the use of Apple Pay in Russia, and pulled a number of Russian news apps from the App Store.
In an official statement, Apple said they stopped all exports to all sales channels in Russia, which was their response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
