Kremlin Calls US Congressmen Ideas About New Russia Sanctions as 'Parliamentary Exercise'

The ideas of US Congress members about news sanctions against Russians are a "parliamentary exercise," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, adding it will take long to formalize them

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 23rd September, 2021) The ideas of US Congress members about news sanctions against Russians are a "parliamentary exercise," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday, adding it will take long to formalize them.

Earlier in the day, the US House of Representatives' Rules Committee approved an amendment bill to the draft defense budget legislation that would recommend sanctions against a total of 35 Russian officials.

"First of all, these are such a parliamentary exercise, in order for them to be somehow formalized and, even more, put in effect, they have to go a very long way. The fact that there are a huge number of people in Congress' various commissions who are poorly versed in Russian reality but, at the same time, do not love our country � this is no secret to anyone," Peskov told reporters.
