(7 years ago)The United States of America (SHBA) has imposed additional sanctions on Russia due to the attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in 2018, using a nervous gas, arguing that “this act has endangered thousands of lives”, broadcast New York Post. Sanctions that will enter [...]
The sanctions, which will enter later this month, will expel Russia from US banking services, including debt financing, and prevent Vladimir Putin's government from buying American products for the chemical and biological weapons programme.
Trump issued an executive order late Thursday, declaring another round of sanctions against Moscow, which denied any involvement in the Scripalj case.
The US has already imposed sanctions on Russia in 2018 on the use of chemical weapons and violations of international laws.
Former double-spy Sergei Scripalj and his daughter Julia were found poisoned in Salisbury on March 4th 2018 and a toxic chemical was on the door handle.
They've been critical in hospital for weeks. London has accused Moscow of standing behind the poisoning, claiming to have used some kind of nervous gas developed in the former Soviet Union.
Moscow has dismissed the accusations, saying a programme aimed at developing such a substance existed neither in the Soviet Union nor in Russia.
