On the eve of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, a majority of votes approved the bill on sanctions against Russia, Iran and the DPRK. In the near future the document will be considered by the Senate, after which it will be sent to the President for signature. If finally approved, the new sanctions package could become the largest since the beginning of 2014. The restrictions are mainly related to energy.
The Kremlin said that it is "extremely negative" about the bill, which undermines Russian-American relations.

The current version of the sanctions was also criticized in the EU, since the document implies restrictions against Russian energy projects in Europe.
