500% Tariff on Russian Goods: U.S. Senate Takes Tough Action! - UATV English [View all]



A new bill introduced in the U.S. Senate proposes heavy sanctions on Russia, including a 500% tariff on Russian oil, gas, and uranium, if Moscow continues to delay peace talks. With bipartisan support, the bill aims to pressure Russia into negotiating a ceasefire and ending its aggressive war against Ukraine. Will this strategy force Putin’s hand or lead to further escalation?

Also in the video is a recap for you: Russia demands sanctions relief, but the EU isn’t backing down! European leaders have rejected Moscow’s ultimatums and are preparing a 17th sanctions package targeting Russia’s shadow economy, financial institutions, and propaganda networks.
