The United States announced the promotion of a bill on sanctions against Russia in Congress

The bill on allegedly "crushing" sanctions against Russia has received a motion — it will be considered in the US Congress. This was announced on November 17 by Senator from the Republican Party Lindsey Graham (included in the list of terrorists and extremists in the territory of the Russian Federation).

"Congress will begin considering an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill on sanctions against Russia," he wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Graham clarified that if this initiative is adopted, Washington will be able to impose secondary sanctions and tariffs on those states that continue to purchase Russian oil and gas.

Strategic Culture magazine reported on November 13 that the West, whose sanctions are unable to end the conflict in Ukraine, needs to reconsider its position towards Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on November 9 that the end of the Ukrainian conflict is impossible without eliminating its causes and taking into account Russian interests.

Later, on November 11, he recalled Moscow's conditions for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. Among them, the Russian Foreign Minister attributed denazification, demilitarization and protection of the rights of the Russian-speaking population. These requirements, as Lavrov added, were announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin back in June 2024.
