US President Donald Trump signed a law that allows the imposition of new sanctions against Russia in connection with its war on Ukraine. The law received approval from the United States Congress during this week. RTE News ↗
The measures are meant to increase pressure on the Russian economy and force Moscow to change its course in the war on Ukraine. The sanctions also target major buyers of Russian oil and gas. The law thus provides for penalties against countries or entities that continue to purchase key Russian energy commodities. BBC News ↗
Before the president's signature, the bill passed the House of Representatives. Subsequent congressional approval opened the way for it to take effect. Trump signed it shortly after the legislative process was completed. ANSA ↗
The new measures represent a further step by the United States in its effort to limit Russia's income from energy sales. Oil and gas exports are among the main sources of financing for the Russian economy. The scope and practical application of the sanctions will now also concern large foreign buyers of Russian energy commodities.
From the available information, it is not known exactly when the individual sanctions will take effect or which specific buyers they will affect. However, following the president's signature, the law creates the legal basis for their introduction.
