“If the sanctions prior to the invasion had been introduced, they would have been associated with Russian cyber attacks inside Ukraine,” Chris Murphy, a member of the US Senate International Committee, was quoted as saying.
According to the publication, some senators are pushing for the inclusion of sanctions for alleged cyber attacks in a broader bill that provides for measures against Russia in the event of an “invasion” of Ukraine.
Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the US Congress was faced with the problem of lack of time to consider a bill on sanctions against Russia in the event of an escalation of tension around Ukraine.
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that US congressmen and senators are competing with each other to come up with new anti-Russian sanctions.
