US does not intend to impose new sanctions against Russia

Spokesman for the White House Josh Ernest said that Washington does not intend to impose new sanctions on Russia after President Barack Obama signed a bill allowing the Russian Federation to impose new restrictions.

Obama, according to his words, still "intends to sign the bill," but it does not change the policy of the White House on the issue of sanctions against Russia. In the administration, as before, actions will be coordinated with its European partners.
