US President Donald Trump has signed into law a new package of sanctions against Russia, according to a report by Al Jazeera. The measures are described as sweeping in scope and are intended to weaken the Kremlin's ability to fund its war against Ukraine.
According to the report, the law is designed to increase pressure on Moscow with the aim of pushing Russia toward negotiations over the future of the conflict in Ukraine, which has continued for an extended period.
