Media: Congress will submit a bill to ban US government contracts for companies working with Russia

This was written by the Washington Examiner, which had the text of the document at its disposal.

“If you do business directly with Russian government contracts, then you can no longer do business with the US government,” the document says.

However, as noted, the bill does not apply to situations related to the provision of humanitarian assistance.

In addition, transactions fall under the exception when they are "necessary for the national interest of the United States."

Republican Congressman Mike Waltz, one of the authors of the initiative, stressed that there is a possibility that the bill will not pass as a separate initiative.

Instead, it can be introduced as an amendment to the country's defense budget.

On June 2, the US Treasury announced that US authorities were imposing sanctions on 17 Russian citizens, including Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova and Russian Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov.

On June 6, the Russian Foreign Ministry imposed personal sanctions on US Treasury and Energy Ministers Janet Yellen and Jennifer Granholm.
