Bloomberg: U.S. puts pressure on the European Union to quickly agree on anti-Russian sanctions

This is reported by Bloomberg, citing sources.

As noted, US officials in conversations with representatives of EU countries expressed concern that the process of agreeing on anti-Russian sanctions is going too slowly.

In addition, according to the agency, the United States is concerned that "European leaders are ill-prepared" to respond to allegedly possible cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns from Russia.

Earlier, American senators proposed to impose sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and a number of high-ranking officials in the event of an aggravation of the situation around Ukraine.

Press Secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that the idea of ​​possible new US sanctions against Russia and its president is comparable to the initiative to break off relations.
