The US is likely to impose new sanctions of a point nature against Russia.

This opinion was expressed in the commentary to the "Observer" by the diplomat, the head of the board of the State Enterprise "European Telecommunications of Ukraine" Vadim Trykhan.

"The fact is that the political balance in the US has staggered. Everyone was waiting for what the ex-FBI director James Komi would say. Even there were thoughts that his testimony was enough to begin the impeachment procedure. This did not happen, but now Trump needs strong moves. I do not exclude that in order to strengthen support from his party members, the president will show a tough attitude towards Russia. On the other hand, conditions have not yet matured that will put an end to political and diplomatic negotiations and will allow making decisions leading to serious complications for the Russian Federation, "the diplomat said..

According to him, for example, while the States are not ready to cut Russia off from SWIFT and impose an embargo on energy supplies.

"Still, there will be talk about dot-tailed steps of a personal nature in relation to the entourage of Russian President Vladimir Putin and key state monopolies," summed up Trukhan.

As reported by the "Observer", Senator-Republican Lindsay Graham said that the Senate this week will pass a law punishing Russia for interference in US elections.
