Ukrainian Sanctions Official Warns of Possible Tariffs on Russian Energy Buyers After Sanctions Bill Signed
Vladyslav Vlasiuk says implementation, including potential tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy, will be the key challenge once the U.S. sanctions bill becomes law.
Vladyslav Vlasiuk, an adviser on sanctions policy, said that once U.S. President Donald Trump signs a bill imposing new sanctions on Russia, the central issue will shift to how the legislation is actually implemented, according to Ukrinform.
Vlasiuk noted that one of the most significant potential consequences of the bill would be the imposition of tariffs of up to 100% on imports from countries identified as major purchasers of Russian energy resources, Ukrinform reported.
The report did not specify which countries might be affected by such measures or provide further details on the timeline or mechanism for implementation.
Ukrinform did not immediately provide additional comment from Vlasiuk or other officials on the broader scope of the sanctions bill or its expected economic impact.
