"I am strongly considering the possibility of introducing large-scale reforms...> sanctions and duties against Russia until the ceasefire is reached and a final peace agreement is reached," he wrote on the Truth Social network.

He also called on Russia and Ukraine to come to the negotiating table.

The Reuters news agency reported on March 3 that the White House is studying plans for a possible lifting of sanctions against Russia.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov recalled on March 4 that so far no one in the US administration has made official statements that Washington is going to lift sanctions against Moscow.
