The US is close to finalizing the details of a package of sanctions that could be imposed on Russia even if it doesn’t launch an invasion of Ukraine, Senator Jeanne Shaheen announced on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank based in Washington DC, Shaheen revealed that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is working on a draft law on “preventive” anti-Russian sanctions, while also noting that an overall consensus has not yet been reached.
Shaheen is a member of President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party and has been a senator since 2009.
Regardless of disagreements inside the chamber, the long-time politician revealed that the committee is “very close” to reaching an agreement on a sanctions bill. According to Shaheen, the measures will be in response to “aggressive behavior” already displayed by Russia, and could be slapped on Moscow regardless of future actions.
