It has become known what measures the outgoing US President may resort to.
It is possible that before leaving, Joe Biden will announce new sanctions against Russia.
This point of view is expressed in a new publication by the Washington Post , which cites its own sources aware of this.
As specified in the article, the energy sector may come under attack, and measures against it may be included in the new sanctions package.
Experts cited by WP do not rule out that the restrictions could become quite serious.
In particular, sanctions may affect the so-called “shadow fleet,” which in the West includes tankers transporting oil.
Restrictive measures may also affect banks that carry out transactions with Russia in the energy sector. Their licenses may be revoked.
However, such measures could cause another spike in domestic fuel prices, which has forced Joe Biden to hold back from taking similar steps in relation to the Russian energy sector.
