华盛顿8月12日电（路透社）——两名民主党资深联邦参议员周三就特朗普政府为何暂停对帮助俄罗斯规避现有制裁的企业、银行及其他实体施加新制裁一事施压相关官员，尽管和平谈判并未取得实质性成果。

参议院银行委员会首席民主党议员伊丽莎白·沃伦与克里斯托弗·库恩斯联名致信美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥及财政部长斯科特·贝森特。议员们指出，本届政府已暂停实施常规性、针对性对俄规避制裁措施达17个月之久。
美国上一次针对俄罗斯实施大规模制裁是在2025年10月，当时财政部将俄罗斯石油公司（ROSN.MM）与卢克石油公司（LKOH.MM）列为制裁目标。议员们认为，上述制裁仅是一次性举措，俄罗斯可轻易规避制裁。
信中援引贝森特今年2月对国会的表态称，政府希望先“观察和平谈判走向”，再恢复部分对俄规避制裁措施，尽管本届政府在与伊朗和古巴进行谈判期间仍对两国实施了制裁。
信中还提到鲁比奥今年5月曾表示，俄乌两国间的和平谈判并未取得成果，当时并未举行任何相关谈判。
信函指出，自2022年2月俄罗斯发动特别军事行动至2025年1月唐纳德·特朗普第二次就职总统期间，美国累计对俄实施了111轮制裁。
前任总统乔·拜登任期内实施的制裁几乎未能阻止俄罗斯的行动。
议员们要求上述官员于8月28日前回应这一问题：“如果政府因和平谈判而暂停常规对俄制裁，而相关谈判早在数月前就已停滞，那么为何政府尚未恢复实施常规且高频的美国制裁，以重建乌克兰公正和平所需的谈判筹码？”
参议院本月通过了一项新的对俄制裁法案，但该法案的未来仍不明朗，因为民主党与部分共和党议员担忧，该法案可能会赋予特朗普新的权力，对包括日本和部分欧洲国家在内的美国盟友的商品征收关税。
财政部与国务院未立即回应置评请求。

WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – Two senior Democratic U.S. senators on Wednesday pressed Trump administration officials on why they have paused imposing fresh sanctions on companies, banks and other entities that help Russia evade existing restrictions over its invasion of Ukraine, even though peace talks have not proved fruitful.

Senators Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, and Christopher Coons wrote the letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The senators say the administration has paused regular, targeted counter-evasion sanctions on Russia for 17 months.
The U.S. last imposed major sanctions on Russia in October 2025, when the Treasury targeted oil companies Rosneft
(ROSN.MM)
and Lukoil
(LKOH.MM)
. The senators believe those sanctions were a one-off and that Russia easily evades them.
The letter cites Bessent telling Congress in February that the administration wanted to “see where the peace talks go” before resuming some counter-evasion sanctions even as the administration imposed sanctions on Iran and Cuba during talks with those countries.
The letter also cites Rubio saying in May that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were not fruitful and there were no such talks occurring at the time.
Letter says there were 111 sets of sanctions on Russia following the February 2022 invasion until January 2025, the month President Donald Trump took office for a second time.
Sanctions imposed during former President Joe Biden’s term did little to stop Russia.
Senators ask the officials to respond by August 28 to this question: “If the administration paused regular Russia sanctions because of peace talks, and those talks stalled months ago, why hasn’t the Administration resumed routine and frequent U.S. sanctions to rebuild leverage for a just peace in Ukraine?”
Senate passed new sanctions legislation on Russia this month, but its future is uncertain as Democrats and some Republicans are concerned it could allow Trump new powers to impose tariffs on goods from U.S. allies including Japan and some countries in Europe.
Treasury and State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
