Washington decided to impose new sanctions against Russia.

The United States of America announced the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, which, in the context of an economic downturn, could seriously affect the Russian economy. However, we are talking not only about her - the sanctions also affected companies associated with Yevgeny Prigozhin, including, we can talk about PMC "Wagner".

"The United States imposed sanctions against three Russians and five companies associated with entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin"- сообщает "RIA News".

What exactly became the reason for the imposition of sanctions is unknown, however, experts believe that this may be due, in the opinion of the American side, Russia's intervention in the conflict in Libya, cooperation with the Taliban in Afghanistan, etc., which, however, so far not confirmed.

What exactly the new sanctions imply is unknown, however, it is obvious that this fact may affect the value of the Russian ruble against major currencies, since stock markets reacted to such information almost instantly.
