Earlier, economist, independent expert Andrei Suzdaltsev in an interview with the NSN commented on the entry into force of the second package of US sanctions.

On August 26, the second package of US sanctions against Russia came into force in connection with the Salisbury incident.

It was put into effect because the Russian side, as claimed in the United States, did not provide Washington with statutory guarantees of the non-use of chemical and biological weapons.
