Let us remind you
In April, senators from both parties of the US Congress presented a bill providing for the introduction of "secondary" sanctions against the Russian Federation - in particular, a 500% duty for countries that buy Russian oil, gas and uranium, if Russia does not agree to a lasting peace with Ukraine.
The other day, US President Donald Trump stated that he would not strengthen sanctions against Russia, because he believes that there is a chance for progress in negotiations. According to him, he believes that Putin wants to end the war in Ukraine.
Later, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained that Trump believes that Russia is likely to withdraw from peace talks on Ukraine if Washington threatens new sanctions.
