Russian Business Official Says New US Sanctions Bill Targets Moscow's Trade Partners
RSPP deputy head Alexander Murychev says Russian companies have already adjusted to existing restrictions, according to TASS.
A new sanctions bill under consideration in the United States is aimed at countries and companies that trade with Russia, according to Alexander Murychev, deputy head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), as reported by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Murychev said the legislation represents an attempt by Washington to widen pressure beyond Russia itself by targeting its trading partners abroad, TASS reported.
Despite the potential threat posed by the bill, Murychev noted that Russian businesses have already adapted to the sanctions regime imposed on the country since earlier restrictions took effect, according to TASS.
TASS did not provide additional details in the excerpt regarding the specific provisions of the bill, its legislative status, or a timeline for its passage.
The report did not include further comment from US officials or lawmakers regarding the proposed measure.
