According to the senator, the proposal to impose sanctions because of the incident in the Kerch Strait is another reason “in the long chain of all unfriendly steps by the US towards Russia.”

“We have been ready for this for a long time and know that the Americans are moving in the direction of their desire to isolate Russia from the whole world. But I think they overestimate their strength, ”he said.

As Jabarov pointed out, the continuation of Washington’s activities in the anti-Russian direction "may be fraught with misfortunes for the whole world."

“It’s not too late, we need to agree. US actions are beginning to alarm even their allies. But, even if tomorrow they impose their sanctions, the day after tomorrow Russia will not die. We will continue to live and develop, despite the reluctance of some political leaders from across the ocean, ”concluded the parliamentarian.

Earlier, US senators drafted a bill on new sanctions against Russia, in particular, in connection with the incident in the Kerch Strait.

The document provides for the introduction of measures in relation to the shipbuilding sector and state energy projects.
