The risk that Russian energy companies will become the target of the next tough US sanctions is minimal. This was reported by CNN, citing government sources in Washington.
Earlier, the world media reported that the United States and its allies are considering a number of tough sanctions, including depriving Russian energy companies of access to debt markets in the event of an alleged military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
This is due to the fact that such sanctions will inflate energy prices and lead to another increase in the cost of gasoline in America, which will affect the already low rating of President Joe Biden, the channel points out.
At the same time, the TV company’s experts fear that the refusal from the most severe sanctions will “untie the hands” of President Vladimir Putin with regard to Ukraine.
Earlier, the world media reported that the United States is considering various forms of “punishment” of Russia in the event of hostilities against Ukraine, including sanctions against energy companies and disconnection of the Russian Federation from the international system of fast payments SWIFT.
