New Russian sanctions bill introduced |
2021-02-04 |
[REGNUM] Representatives of the US Republican and Democratic parties have submitted to the US Congress a bill providing for the introduction of new sanctions against Russia due to the situation with Alexei Navalny , the press service of Florida Senator Marco Rubio said . The document was named "Draft Law of 2021 on holding the Russian Federation accountable for malicious activity." It provides for sanctions against Russian officials who allegedly violated international law. Senators called the imprisonment of Alexei Navalny as a pretext for imposing sanctions. Russia is also accused of using "chemical and biological weapons." As reported by IA REGNUM , earlier the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that the United States does not need a reason to impose new anti-Russian sanctions. In her opinion, the American side will always find a pretext for putting pressure on Russia. |

#4 By this standard we should sanction the hell out of China. Must be the old DC double standard. |

#3 I'm still wondering what sanctions/economic embargo has done to Cuba 60 years and counting. |

#2 Oh for f--k's sake, why are we continuing this charade? What gave sanctions achieved for us? In what way, if at all, has Russian behavior been curbed by these stupid and crude punitive measures? What good does it do to reduce Putin's loot by 60 or 80% when he still has at least $10 billion in liquid assets stashed away? Sanctions only punish the ordinary Russian family. Now the Russians despise us. Putin's more popular than ever. Can anybody here play this game? |
