US Sanctions Bill Targets Russian Oil, Kremlin Warns It May Complicate Ukraine Peace Talks
The US House of Representatives passed a sanctions bill targeting Russia's energy and defense sectors, including tariffs of up to 100% on countries purchasing Russian oil, now awaiting President Trump's signature. The Kremlin warned these measures could complicate efforts to reach a peace deal in Ukraine, describing them as unfriendly actions. Ukraine welcomed the legislation as a way to increase economic pressure on Russia and strengthen its negotiating position. The bill also targets Russia's shadow fleet of tankers used to evade sanctions, with potential impacts on major buyers like India and China.
