Chepa MP says new US sanctions are not linked to truce terms

The parliamentarian noted that the United States is doing everything for its own benefit, which is why the new restrictions are primarily related to the oil and gas sector. U.S. President Donald Trump has said from the beginning that he will do everything to reduce the cost of oil. Therefore, I do not think that the sanctions are somehow connected with the terms of the truce announced yesterday by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the deputy told the online edition of Lenta.ru. According to Chepa, the sanctions confrontation between Russia and the United States will last for a long time, regardless of the conflict in Ukraine. The MP is confident that the United States will always find reasons to impose restrictions against Moscow in areas that will be beneficial to Washington. He added that there are constant contacts on the Ukrainian issue. It is difficult to solve it, according to the deputy, including because it causes resistance among opponents of the peace agreement. Russia understands that Trump needs to maneuver between NATO partners, which is also very difficult, Chepa said. Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the US administration quietly tightened sanctions against Russia. The US authorities refused to renew the license, which allowed foreign companies to make payments for Russian energy resources in dollars through banks that were under restrictions.
