The author of US sanctions reached out to Russia and gave it advice

Republican Graham noted that Russia has learned to cope with sanctions, but the US now wants to impose them differently. The senator called on Moscow to ask partners how they feel about the risk of tariffs for buying oil and gas from it Lindsey Graham

Russia has indeed learned to avoid the consequences of sanctions, but the United States under Donald Trump will change its approach to put countries that buy its energy at risk, Senator Lindsey Graham said in H.

The essence of Graham's sanctions project: if a country buys fuel from Russia and does not help Ukraine , then a 500% tariff is imposed on its products supplied to the United States. Among the countries that could be threatened by the measure, he named India and China . The senator noted that the size of the duty that Trump might introduce could be more modest - 100%.

"It seems you [Russia] don't understand that President Trump is changing the rules of the game and is going to impose tariffs on countries buying youroil and gas, supporting your war machine. Perhaps you should contact these countries soon to see if they are as flippant about this as you are," Graham wrote.

In mid-July, Trump gave Russia 50 days to make progress in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, or he threatened Moscow and its trading partners with tariffs “of about 100%.” On July 28, the US president announced that he was shortening that deadline to 10–12 days because there was no point in waiting any longer.

After this, an in absentia dispute took place in X between Graham and Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. The latter, after Trump's ultimatum, stated that each such step brings war between Russia and the United States closer. Graham, in response, called on Moscow and Kiev to sit down at the negotiating table .

"It is not for you or Trump to dictate when to sit down at the negotiating table. The negotiations will end when all the goals of our military operation are achieved. Work for America first and foremost, grandpas!" Medvedev said , commenting on Graham's post.
