In the United States proposed to impose sanctions against Putin

In the United States, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez has amended the defense budget, which provides for sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported on July 1 by RIA Novosti. It is noted that Menendez proposed to impose sanctions against Putin and the Russian authorities because of Moscow's alleged involvement in attacks by the Taliban movement (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) on the US military in Afghanistan. Restrictive measures should be introduced no later than 15 days after the receipt of relevant information. According to the news agency, earlier the Pentagon published a report stating that the Russian authorities interacted with the radical Taliban movement (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in order to strengthen their influence in Afghanistan. The report also reports that Russia is likely to continue to support the efforts of the United States and the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) to resolve in the hope that the settlement will prevent a long-term American military presence.
