In the United States for an indefinite period postponed consideration of the bill on the introduction of new sanctions against Russia.

About this writes The Washington Post.

The consideration of sanctions was postponed by the US Senate Committee.

Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate Bob Corker said that the Senate is waiting for "some facts" in order to move further in this issue.

Again to return to the discussion of the topic of sanctions are planned only when they receive the results of the investigation about the Kremlin's interference in the presidential elections in 2016.

It is emphasized that the draft law fixes the existing sanctions against Russia, introduced in 2014, and introduces new restrictive measures against persons involved in Russian cyberattacks.

At the same time, Corker stressed that despite the suspension of this bill, he will work on his legislative initiatives to counter Russian propaganda.

As the Observer reported, the countries of the G-7 declared that they would uphold sanctions against the Russian Federation until the Kremlin fully achieved the agreements reached in Minsk.
