US President Donald Trump is preparing to impose new sanctions against Russia. The reason for this time was allegedly Moscow's violation of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (DRMS). The President, at the request of the Congress, must submit a special report. In it, the politician will point to Russian officials who violated the treaty.

They will be sanctioned, as well as forbidden to contact the US on budget purchases, RIA Novosti reports..

Restrictions will be developed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in conjunction with the Ministries of Finance, Defense, Trade and Director of National Intelligence. In Moscow, it is argued that US accusations have no basis, since Russia adheres to the treaty. The INF Treaty was signed by the USSR and the USA in 1987. According to him, both countries should significantly reduce missile weapons with a range of damage from 500 to 1,000 kilometers and from 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers.
