The administration of US President Donald Trump is preparing additional sanctions that could be imposed on key sectors of Moscow's economy if Russia continues its war in Ukraine.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, citing sources.

According to the report, Washington has also informed its European allies that it supports the use of frozen Russian assets to purchase American weapons for Ukraine.

In addition, internal discussions have begun in the United States regarding the possibility of redirecting Russian assets located in the country to support Kyiv's military efforts.

The White House is reportedly expecting its European partners to take the next step against Moscow, which could include new sanctions or additional tariffs.

Another source said that Trump will likely "take a break" for several weeks to assess the Kremlin's reaction to the restrictions already announced on Wednesday.

Recall that the latest US sanctions targeted Russian oil giants Lukoil and Rosneft.
