The US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is not going to prepare a draft for new sanctions against the Russian Federation in the near future.

This is reported by Politico.

According to the head of the committee Bob Corker, senators will deal with the issue of Russia's influence in Eastern Europe, but the US wants to confront the Kremlin without resorting to restrictive measures.

Corker noted that first the Senate must wait for the completion of an investigation against Russia on the influence of Moscow on the election of the US president.

At the same time, the head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations recognized that in the future new sanctions may be imposed against the Kremlin.

As the Observer reported earlier, the G7 countries earlier said they would uphold sanctions against the Russian Federation until the Kremlin fully achieved the agreements reached in Minsk.
