There are military industry lobbyists among US senators who use any excuse to increase the budget for military purposes. This was stated in a conversation with RBC by a member of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Elena Afanasyeva, commenting on the proposal of US Senator Robert Menendez to impose sanctions against RUSSIA in the event of an invasion of Ukraine.

“Apparently, the senator's hysteria is connected with the desire to receive money for military purposes to allegedly fight against the allegedly aggressive Russia. Russia does not have the plans that the US senator is talking about, the president has stated this more than once,” Afanasyeva said.

According to Sergey Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs, American parliamentarians believe that they are successfully fulfilling their duties when they introduce bills or make decisions directed against Russia.

“There is no other way to characterize it. But by and large, if sanctions are imposed against someone, it is against the United States. They unleash wars around the world and it was they who staged a coup in Ukraine. The troubles of Ukraine, in general, are connected with the fact that they obey the will of the United States, ”concluded the senator.
