A second draft in the US Congress provides for sanctions against Russia

New Congressional Bill of United States to impose sanctions on Russia includes the name of President Vladimir Putin. This is clear from message on the Court’s website, is an importer Democrat Gregory Meeks, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Policy and International Relations.

The bill provides for the continuation of economic sanctions and other representatives of Russia in the event of attacking or undermining Ukrainian sovereignty.

The project provides sanctions on Nord Stream-2, on the extractive industry, on at least three financial institutions, a ban on all transactions with new Russian debt, expanded opposition to Russian disinformation and cyber activity, sanctions on the president Vladimir Putin and other representatives of the leadership of the Russian Federation.

It is also proposed to provide assistance to Ukraine to strengthen its defense capabilities and to do so under an accelerated funding regime.

The continuing accumulation of Russian troops, both on the border with Ukraine, and in Belarus, is an act of aggression, which is as reckless as it is alarming, “reads the reasons for the bill. Although they hope that diplomacy can de-escalate tensions on the Ukrainian border, The United States and its allies must make a clear signalthat “any act of invading the Russian army into sovereign territory will be met with significant consequences.” Meeks also states that Congress must be ready to act, if President Putin continues the provocative military accumulation on Ukraine’s borders.

Meeks introduced his bill without waiting for the procedure and vote on the previous such bill, introduced by Democrat Robert Menendez. This form of legislative initiative involves the introduction of an act similar to or identical to that considered by the other house of Congress. In this way, legislators seek to unite their efforts and accelerate the promotion of their initiatives.

Both bills provide for deadlines for the adoption of sanctions in the event of an escalation of the situation around Ukraine. They also predetermine that the president of the United States will be able to lift the sanctions already imposed only in agreement with the Committee on Appropriations of the Chamber, where it will be necessary to confirm that there are no grounds for restrictive measures.
