The United States is discussing the introduction of new sanctions against the Russian Federation due to the concentration of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine. It is reported that a rift in relations between the West and Russia could lead to restrictions on the supply of smartphones and other electronics to Russia.

In particular, the possibility of introducing a ban on the import into the Russian Federation of microelectronics produced using American technologies and using American software is being considered. Analysts believe that in this way the United States wants to achieve a dominant position and strike at the military and civilian sectors of Russia.

The ban may include aircraft, smartphones, game consoles, tablets, televisions and other electronics. According to sources familiar with the situation, Russia may well face the same tough restrictions as Iran, Cuba, Syria and North Korea.

It is believed that the United States will aggravate relations with Russia as a last resort and after consultations with allied countries, especially since the Russian market is important for a large number of American and not only companies. However, the option of imposing an embargo exists and is being discussed in the White House.
