The US may introduce additional financial sanctions against Russia even before the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term. This is reported by Nikkei with reference to sources among the officials of the European Union UNN.

Details

It is reported that the administration of the outgoing US President Joe Biden is considering the possibility of introducing additional financial sanctions against Russia. The US presidential administration is taking steps to ban American banks from working with Gazprombank, a major Russian lender that plays a key role in many energy deals.

The US has informed the other G7 countries that it will decide on measures no earlier than the end of the month.

Let’s add

It is noted that the Biden administration intends to increase pressure on Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. In particular, European leaders are calling on the Biden administration to provide more weapons and strengthen sanctions against Russia before the end of the president’s term, preparing for a possible reduction in support for Ukraine under Trump.

The US Department of Defense plans to provide $7.1 billion in military aid to Ukraine by the end of Biden’s term. Aid packages will arrive almost weekly for the next 70 days.
