Sanctioning Russia Act: New Economic and Financial Restrictions

This act imposes broad economic and financial sanctions on Russia if it refuses peace talks with Ukraine, violates an agreement, or launches another invasion. US citizens might indirectly feel the effects, such as changes in prices for certain goods imported from Russia or impacts on global financial markets. The goal is to pressure the Russian government to cease destabilizing actions.
Key points
Freezing assets and prohibiting transactions with key Russian officials, financial institutions, and state-owned companies.
Banning US financial institutions from investing in Russian entities and armed forces.
Increasing duties on goods and services imported from Russia to the US, including oil and gas, by at least 500%.
Prohibiting uranium imports from Russia and sanctioning countries trading Russian uranium.
Restricting the listing and trading of Russian securities on US exchanges.
Imposing duties on countries purchasing Russian-origin oil, uranium, and petroleum products, potentially affecting global energy prices.
