US President Joe Biden is considering large-scale sanctions against Russia’s energy sector.

About it writes The Washington Post with reference to sources.

‘President Joe Biden in the last weeks of his term in office is considering the possibility of introducing new serious sanctions against the energy sector of Russia’, – stated in the material.

According to the sources, the new restrictions may concern companies – oil exporters and cargo ships, as well as the withdrawal of licences from banks that allow them to conduct energy transactions with Russia.

The newspaper calls these measures ‘leverage’ of US President-elect Donald Trump for negotiations with Russia.

Earlier, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said that despite the constant sanctions from the West, Russia will still find a way out and create new products and solutions.
