by time news

The Russian Foreign Ministry warned the United States against imposing sanctions that were proposed by Congress against Russian officials, public figures and entrepreneurs. As the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said, the people against whom the American politicians want to apply sanctions have nothing to do with the “S. Magnitsky Law”, within the framework of which it was proposed to introduce restrictions.

“Apparently, everything that is happening now in Washington is a consequence of an acute” staff shortage “, primarily in the part concerning specialists in our country. Only people who have absolutely no idea of ​​Russian realities could compile such a list of persons in connection with a topic to which none of them has and cannot have either direct or indirect relation. We would like to once again warn Washington against a rash step on the sanctions track, ”Zakharova said, her words were reported by the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Earlier today, the US House of Representatives Regulations Committee approved an amendment to the US defense budget for the next fiscal year. It involves assessing the possibility of imposing sanctions against 35 Russians. The list of persons on whom restrictions may be imposed was published on his Twitter page by a member of the US Helsinki Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Congressman Paul Massaro.

In addition, earlier the lower house of the US Congress supported the introduction of a ban on the purchase and sale of new issues of Russian bonds by American investors in the secondary market.
