However, the Biden administration opposes this decision.

They believe that this will reduce the opportunities for interaction between Washington and Moscow.

The US Congress is preparing a bill that allows Russia to be recognized as an "aggressor country".

This should be a response to the reluctance of President Joe Biden's administration to recognize Moscow as a sponsor of terrorism.

The Hill publication writes about it.

The draft document is being discussed between the White House and the leaders of the Congress, according to the publication's sources, who work as assistants to deputies from the Republican Party.

If passed, the bill would allow the White House to impose sanctions against Russian officials in a simplified manner.

The Hill received the draft document.

According to the text, the US president will be able to declare any state involved in the attack on Ukraine an aggressor country.

The conversation, accordingly, can be not only about Moscow, but also about its few allies in this war: Minsk and Tehran.

Three public organizations in the USA, which support Kyiv, opposed such a bill in an appeal to the White House.

They are afraid that it may lead to softening of sanctions against Russia.

The appeal was signed by the "Ukrainian Congressional Committee of America", the "United Baltic-American National Committee" and the Ukrainian organization "Together".

In addition, it will require the US to impose restrictions against Russia's partners, among which there are two major countries in the world: China and India.

A number of experts also doubt that Russia meets the legal criteria for sponsoring terrorism, noting that a too loose interpretation of the law could lead to problems for Washington in the future.
