‘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.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has stated that the imposition of U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas exports will make it more difficult to negotiate an end to Russia's conflict with Ukraine. Peskov's comments come after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the controversial "sanctions bill from hell" on September 16, which would impose secondary tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest purchasers of Russian energy, as well as sanctions against key Russian officials, businessmen, banks, energy initiatives, and vessels in the "shadow fleet."
The bill passed by the Senate in August is currently awaiting President Trump's approval before becoming law. Peskov has described the bill as "unfriendly actions" and emphasized that the Kremlin is closely monitoring its progress.
