“We intend to act in accordance with the provisions of the law on the non-proliferation of chemical and biological weapons, which requires us to impose additional sanctions,” she said, answering a question about the further actions of the State Department after the announcement of “non-compliance by Russia” of the chemical weapons law
Earlier, the head of the international committee of the US House of Representatives Ed Royce said that Russia allegedly “did not comply with the requirements of the law” of the United States on chemical weapons.
Also in September, the State Department announced that the American side was preparing a new “hard” package of sanctions against Russia.
As noted, sanctions may come into force due to Russia's denial of access to various facilities to obtain data that the country is not going to "use chemical weapons in the future."
