In Ukraine, people had been waiting for this law for months. The bill imposing tough sanctions on Russia and Iran was discussed repeatedly in the U.S. Congress, but its progress was slowed by political disputes and the White House’s position. Now the measure has passed both chambers. The White House has already said the president plans to do this.
But does the law’s passage mean Russia will actually face a new sanctions strike? Not yet. The biggest questions concern possible pressure on China and India.
For Ukraine, it matters whether this law will turn into real pressure on the Russian budget. In an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA, Member of Parliament of Ukraine and Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy and Interparliamentary Cooperation Oleksandr Merezhko shared his thoughts on these and other issues.
