Bipartisan group of US senators has submitted to the upper house of Congress a bill called “Act on Bringing Russia to Account for Malicious Activities – 2020” that provides for new sanctions against Russia in connection with the criminal activity of the Putin regime, as well as his prosecution of the opposition, in particular, the poisoning of Alexei Navalny, Ukrinform reports.
“While Russia continues to interfere in our elections and commit other atrocities in countries such as Belarus, Ukraine and Syria, increasing the danger to the world, this bill is aimed at bringing to justice Putin and his inner circle,” one of the initiators of the document is Democratic Senator Chris Coons said.
Among other things, US law requires the government to report on the personal property of Vladimir Putin and his closest associates from corrupt practices. In addition, the document instructs the administration to find out if the Kremlin violated US laws prohibiting the use of chemical and biological weapons.
