Russian president Vladimir Putin has authorized retaliatory sanctions against individuals and organizations that have taken action over the illegal invasion of Ukraine.

An executive order issued on Tuesday explains that Russia will implement reprisals against states and international organizations that have acted against Russian interests in the wake of the invasion.

The sanctions will also include "a ban on exporting products or raw materials manufactured or extracted in Russia when they are delivered to individuals under sanctions, or by individuals under sanctions to other individuals."

A raw materials ban could also bite, as Russia is a source of many minerals and other substances of importance to high technology manufacturing supply chains.

Just what Putin has planned will be revealed within ten days - the deadline the order sets for Russia's government to publish a list of banned entities.

Confirmed: Metrics indicate that internet connectivity on provider Skynet in Russian-occupied Kherson, south Ukraine, has been partially restored and rerouted via Russia's Rostelecom instead of Ukrainian infrastructure.
