The administration of US President Donald Trump, due to Moscow's "unwillingness" to concede in negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict, has developed measures to tighten economic pressure on Russia, according to Bloomberg.
According to preliminary data, Washington is considering additional restrictions in the energy sector, including a reduction in revenues. Russia depends on oil. Ukraine and its allies insist on such steps to force Moscow to agree to the terms of the truce proposed by the head of the White House, the newspaper writes.
What specific options for increasing pressure on Moscow were considered in Washington, not specified.
Agency sources note that Trump has not yet made any decisions on tightening sanctions, as he expects diplomacy to succeed.
