The EU warned the United States against the unilateral tightening of sanctions against Russia

In the European Commission believe that Washington’s actions can have unintended consequences, including “for European economic and energy interests”.

BRUSSELS, July 23. /TASS/. The EU warned Saturday against unilateral U.S. tightening sanctions against Russia and called Washington’s actions “domestic considerations”. This was reported by Reuters citing the statement of the representative of the European Commission (EC) made in connection with the compromise in the U.S. Congress on procedural differences in relation to the vote on the draft of new sanctions against Russia and Iran.

“The European Commission is concerned that the measures discussed in the U.S. Congress, can have unintended consequences, including for the European economic and energy interests. Their potential impact may be broad and indiscriminate, including for the EU’s efforts to diversify sources of energy resources”, — said the Agency representative of the EC.
