US Congressmen called on US President Joe Bayden to introduce the second part of sanctions against Russia in chimpery. The text of the appeal is published on the website of the Republican faction of the Committee of the Chamber of Representatives on Foreign Affairs.
According to the members of the House of Representatives of Michael McKola and Senator James Risha, the refusal to introduce restrictions will be regarded as “a one-sided concession that demonstrates weakness.” “Without imposing these mandatory sanctions, your administration refuses the best opportunity to confront Russian violations,” they said.
The authors of the appeal added that the impositions of sanctions require the US Law on the control of chemical and biological weapons and the eradication of combat operations from 1991. In their opinion, this step will help invoke Russian President Vladimir Putin “to justice for its further use of chemical weapons and blatant ignoring international norms and fundamental rights.”
Earlier, Vladimir Putin spoke about the likelihood of new sanctions by the United States. According to the president, the steps towards the new restrictions from the American side after the bilateral leader’s summit will mean a missed opportunity.
