Moscow. 2 Aug. INTERFAX.RU — a Group of U.S. senators has offered a bill providing for tougher sanctions against Russia.
“The current sanctions regime was not able to keep Russia from interfering in the upcoming midterm elections of 2018. Our goal is to change the status quo and to impose crushing sanctions against Putin’s Russia until it stops and will not abandon intervention in the electoral process in the United States, from cyber attacks against the infrastructure of the United States, will bring the Russian (troops — if) Ukraine will stop trying to create chaos in Syria,” — said one of the authors of the bill, Senator Lindsey Graham.
