The U.S. State Department has officially announced the introduction of a second package of sanctions against RUSSIA over the Skripali case. They will come into force after August 17 and will last at least one year.
According to the State Department, as part of the new package of sanctions, Washington will oppose the issuance of any credit, financial or technical assistance to Russia by international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
In addition, the sanctions prohibit U.S. banks from participating in the initial sale of Russian sovereign debt in non-ruble terms and to issue non-ruble loans to the Russian authorities.
The U.S. also imposes additional EXPORT restrictions on materials that may fall under the provisions on the non-proliferation of chemical and biological weapons.
According to the State Department, the new measures will come into force after a 15-day period of congressional notification and will last for at least 12 months.
The agency has estimated that the new sanctions could reduce trade ties between Russia and the United States by billions of dollars.
As State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus noted on Twitter, the new sanctions are due to the fact that Russia "has not taken responsibility [for the poisoning of Springs] and has not abandoned the use of chemical weapons.
Under the terms of the U.S. side, the new package of sanctions may be lifted, provided that Russia, under the control of inspectors, guarantees the renunciation of the use of chemical weapons and agrees to pay compensation to victims of poisoning.
On Friday, the U.S. media reported that U.S. President Donald Trump signed a decree to enforce new sanctions against Russia. Against the background of these reports, the DOLLAR and the euro have risen significantly.
"Draconian sanctions
On 4 March 2018, a former GRU officer, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, Yulia, were poisoned with nerve agents in the British town of Salisbury.
Britain claims that Russia was involved in the Fiddler poisoning. Moscow categorically denies this, noting that the British side has not provided convincing evidence.
About a year ago, the first package of U.S. sanctions against Skripali poisoning was introduced: it included a ban on exports of dual-use components and electronic devices to Russia and required Moscow to provide guarantees within three months that the Russian state would not use nerve agents in the future.
The Russian Foreign Ministry then called the sanctions for the Skripal case "draconian".
The U.S. has imposed a number of sanctions on Russia in recent years for various reasons. In particular, in 2013 sanctions were imposed on a number of officials due to the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer with the Hermitage Capital Foundation, in a Russian pre-trial detention center.
