Vice President Kamala Harris said in an interview with CBS News that because of the situation with Ukraine, the United States could impose sanctions against Russia, "which have not yet happened."

“We made it very clear that Russia should not invade Ukraine's sovereignty, that we stand for its territorial integrity. We are working with our allies in this regard and we have made it clear that we are ready to impose sanctions that you have not seen before, ”she said.

At the same time, the journalist asked Harris if this meant the introduction of "specific sanctions against Vladimir Putin", Harris avoided a direct answer, noting only that she was not going to talk about "specific sanctions."

Earlier, the former US State Department special envoy for Ukraine, Kurt Volcker, said that the West should immediately impose new sanctions against Russia in order to prevent its “extortionate demands” and force it to make concessions. He expressed his conviction that thanks to this it would be possible to prevent "aggression" in Ukraine.

Prior to that, CNN, citing official sources, reported that new US sanctions against Russia were being prepared, which could affect “Putin's entourage” and energy companies.
