NBC: US ​​senators fail to agree on sanctions against Russia before its “invasion” of Ukraine

US senators will not have time to agree on measures against the Russian Federation before the alleged “invasion” of the country into Ukraine.

According to NBC, representatives of the two parties admitted that they are unlikely to be able to pass the sanctions bill in the near future. The other day, the head of the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Bob Menendez, proposed Republican Jim Rish another agreement on restrictive measures. However, Risch stated that he would need time to study the Democrat’s proposal.

In this regard, the senators are preparing a resolution in which they will warn Russia of “serious consequences” in case of aggression against Ukraine. However, such a document is not binding.

At the same time, the Senate stressed that President Joe Biden has the right to impose sanctions against Moscow based on existing laws.

Recall that the Western media for the fourth month in a row report on the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine, which supposedly should begin in January. The newest date named by Biden is February 16. Russian authorities say they are not planning an attack.
