White House: New sanctions against Russia will be the same as never happened before

Possible US sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine will go beyond the previous options. As reported by RIA Novosti, a high-ranking representative of the American administration told reporters about it.

According to him, the United States, together with its European partners, “are seeking a very strong set of economic sanctions.” According to the official, “some of them will include things that have not been done in the past.”

At the same time, the White House spokesman added that in the coming days, the US authorities will continue negotiations with European partners and Russia to resolve the crisis around Ukraine and will “look for ways to move forward.”

We will remind, earlier the CNN television company, citing sources in government structures in Washington, reported that the risk of tough US sanctions against Russian energy companies is minimal, since such sanctions could inflate energy prices and lead to another increase in the cost of gasoline in America.
