‘Sanctions from hell’ from US will complicate peace talks, Kremlin says
New U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports would hinder negotiations to end Russia’s war with Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Of course, the introduction of some additional sanctions by the U.S. will definitely complicate efforts to find a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
Peskov said the Kremlin is closely following the bill’s progress and views its consideration as “unfriendly actions.”
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the “sanctions bill from hell” targeting Russia on September 16. The measure calls for secondary tariffs of up to 100% on the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas, along with sanctions against Russian officials, businessmen, banks, energy projects, and “shadow fleet” vessels. The Senate approved the bill in August, and it now awaits Donald Trump’s signature.
