Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on the 21st that the adoption of new US sanctions laws against Russian oil and gas exports is not conducive to repairing bilateral relations and resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Peskov said at a press conference held on the same day that the US has now imposed more than 30,000 sanctions against Russian companies, individuals, etc., and Russia has adapted to a considerable extent to these sanctions and has taken measures to minimize the negative impact of the sanctions. According to media reports, on September 18, US President Trump signed the “2026 Graham Sanctions Russia and Iran Act” into law. The law is named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, and targets include senior Russian government officials, relevant financial institutions, and other entities owned or controlled by the Russian government. The law authorizes the US federal government to levy up to 500% ad valorem tariffs on goods imported from Russia.
