WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers were expected on Friday to approve new sanctions on Russian weapons companies and investors in the country's high-tech oil projects, putting more U.S. pressure on President Vladimir Putin for interference in eastern Ukraine.
Late on Thursday, the Senate and House of Representatives unanimously passed the Ukraine Freedom Support Act. A House panel made a small change and sent the bill back to the Senate for a last vote expected as soon as late Friday.
President Barack Obama has said he opposes further sanctions on Russia unless Europe is on board.
The bill, which will be sent to Obama to sign, requires him to apply sanctions on Russian state-owned arms exporter Rosoboronexport and other defense companies Congress says contribute to instability in Ukraine, Georgia and Syria.
It requires Obama to penalize global companies that make large investments in crude oil drilling projects in deep waters and the Arctic.
The penalties go beyond U.S. and EU sanctions imposed in September on the world's largest oil companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp and BP Plc.
The legislation would also provide $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine from 2015 to 2017, and other aid for energy to the country, which has been threatened by cutoffs in natural gas supply from Russia.
Republicans, who control the House and will have a majority in the Senate from January, have criticized Obama's reaction to Russian interference in Ukraine as inadequate.
"The hesitant U.S. response to Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine threatens to escalate this conflict even further," said Senator Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, incoming chairman of the foreign relations committee.
The unanimous support for the bill showed a "firm commitment to Ukrainian sovereignty and to making sure Putin pays for his assault on freedom and security in Europe," said Corker, who co-authored the bill with Democratic Senator Robert Menendez, the current head of the panel.
The bill authorizes Obama to penalize the top Russian natural gas producer Gazprom if he determines it is withholding significant natural gas supplies from NATO members or from Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova. Lawmakers dropped a measure that would have designated Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova as non-NATO allies of Washington.
Obama on Thursday said slapping fresh sanctions on Russia without a similar move by Europe would be counterproductive.
In Kiev on Friday, Ukraine's defense minister called for a doubling of the military budget to buy weapons abroad and better equip the army to fight Russian-backed separatists in the east.

U.S., Russia Trade Sanctions Over Crimea

Russian Response Includes Sanctions on U.S. Lawmakers, Officials

The U.S. raised the stakes Thursday in its confrontation with Russia over Crimea, aiming a new round of sanctions closer to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his inner circle even as Moscow struck back with penalties of its own on U.S. lawmakers and White House officials.
The Obama administration's more aggressive move—targeting a high-profile Russian bank as well as some of Mr. Putin's wealthiest and most influential supporters—increased the likelihood the retaliation could spiral.
It also marked a notable reversal for a White House that until last month saw Mr. Putin and his government as a vital international partner.
Moscow has vowed an "asymmetrical" response that could encompass global issues important to the U.S., such as the Iran nuclear talks. U.S. officials said earlier that they were prepared for a Russian move to constrict supply routes used by the U.S. that pass near and through Russian territory.

A new round of U.S. sanctions against Russia over its plans to annex Crimea were laughed off by lawmakers in Russia as President Vladimir Putin saw his position strengthen in recent poll ratings reports WSJ's Greg White.

But although the deepening standoff has redefined a key segment of Mr. Obama's foreign policy—his "reset" with Russia—it hasn't ended it, officials said. The administration still considers Russia an important player in global issues, but has begun bracing for a different tenor in the relationship.
"Putin is the ultimate decision maker," a senior official said. "You can't be done with him."
The Kremlin on Thursday said it is evaluating the new U.S. sanctions, which came after a first batch on Monday. Meanwhile, Moscow responded to Monday's initial sanctions by naming six U.S. lawmakers and three White House officials to a blacklist of its own, barring them from traveling to Russia.
The European Union, meanwhile, met late into the evening Thursday to consider new sanctions of its own. EU officials said 12 people would be added to Monday's list of 21 Russian and Ukrainian officials, but the new names were not immediately released.
So far, the bloc has steered clear of the oligarchs close to Mr. Putin, wary of disrupting its closer economic ties with Russia, targeting lawmakers and presidential advisers. Chancellor Angela Merkel said after the meeting that the new names would be in the same categories as before.
The new U.S. sanctions impose asset freezes and travel bans on 20 individuals, and prohibit U.S. citizens and companies from doing business with them, as well as the Russian bank.
Thursday's move made the dispute with Mr. Putin intensely personal.

"The risk of an escalatory spiral is great," said Thomas Graham, a top National Security Council adviser to former President George W. Bush and now managing director of Kissinger Associates. "So far, little economic damage has been done. That could change in the next week or so."
Shortly after the announcement, Standard & Poor's warned that it is considering cutting Russia's credit rating because of the heightened geopolitical risk, as well as the potential that further Western sanctions could batter Russia's already slowing economy.
Share prices of major Russian companies traded in the West, especially those owned by the targets of the sanctions, fell after hours Thursday.
While few of the Russian officials targeted are likely to have assets overseas in their own names, the businessmen on Thursday's list own companies with widespread financial and commercial holdings around the world.
One of the targets—Gennady Timchenko, co-founder of global commodity trader Gunvor Group—sold his interest in the firm to a partner on Wednesday in anticipation of sanctions. U.S. officials charged that Mr. Putin himself holds investments in Gunvor, which the firm angrily denied Thursday.
The U.S. also slapped sanctions on another executive they said controls Bank Rossiya, one of the top 20 in Russia by assets, and acts as the Russian leader's personal banker.
The latest sanctions imposed by the U.S. had more bite than Monday's, which largely were directed at those beyond the reach of U.S. financial enforcement.
Mr. Obama said they were in response to actions Moscow has taken in Ukraine.
"The world is watching with grave concern as Russia has positioned its military in a way that could lead to further incursions into southern and eastern Ukraine," Mr. Obama said from the White House.
Fueling the broad uncertainty around the widening economic skirmish was another order Mr. Obama signed for the preparation of sanctions against broad sectors of Russia's economy.
Those sectors, a senior administration official said, include financial services, energy, metals, mining, defense and engineering.
The official said aides were working on ways to "operationalize" that order to respond to escalating or continued Russian aggression in Ukraine, where Moscow has annexed the region of Crimea and thrust the world into a Cold War-style standoff.

Russia's lower house of parliament voted Thursday to ratify the Crimea annexation treaty that Mr. Putin had signed on Tuesday. The upper house was expected to follow suit on Friday.
In another sign of the deteriorating ties, a senior official noted that Mr. Obama didn't call Mr. Putin on Thursday before the White House announcement. Mr. Obama spoke with Mr. Putin for an hour on Sunday, ahead of the first round of U.S. sanctions.
The official wasn't aware whether Russia was given any advance notice about the latest round.
U.S. officials also acknowledged that a move to formally exclude Russia from the Group of Eight leading nations will be on the table for discussion when seven of the leaders meet next week in Europe.
In public comments, the Russian targets brushed off the impact of the sanctions, with some saying they were proud to have been recognized for their service to the country. Bank Rossiya declined to comment, as did the companies owned by most of the businessmen.
Economic experts warned that sanctions can carry ripple effects, keeping risk-averse investors from areas of business that aren't even targeted.

While the sanctions don't specifically prohibit foreign-based banks from continuing relationships with Bank Rossiya, the U.S. sanctions could affect how others view it as a place to do business.
"It makes Bank Rossiya radioactive," said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a think tank that has advised Congress on sanctions issues.
A senior Foreign Ministry official said Wednesday that Russia could retaliate with "steps that will be more painful for Washington." That could include cutting cooperation in areas like joint efforts to limit Iran's nuclear program, which Russia believes are more important to the U.S. than they are to Moscow.
In addition, he said Russia would respond on a tit-for-tat basis to any U.S. sanctions, which it did on Thursday.
The Foreign Ministry announced the names of nine U.S. legislators it said would be subject to visa and financial sanctions in response to the previous U.S. list of Russian targets. The restrictions are likely to have little practical impact, however, because relatively few U.S. officials travel to Russia or have assets there.
Some of the lawmakers affected reacted as did counterparts in Russia earlier in the week—with amusement and disdain.

"While I'm disappointed that I won't be able to go on vacation with my family in Siberia this summer, I am honored to be on this list. Putin's recent aggression is unacceptable, and America must join with our European allies to isolate and punish Russia," said Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), one of those targeted.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.), another, called the sanction "a badge of honor."
The new U.S. sanctions also targeted Sergei Ivanov and Alexei Gromov, who both work in Mr. Putin's executive office, and Igor Sergun, the head of the Russian military's intelligence service. Also hit was Vladimir Yakunin, chairman of the state-owned Russian Railways; and several lawmakers.
Also on Thursday, Ukraine's acting foreign minister Andriy Deshchytsia said Russia is undermining efforts to send international observers to Ukraine to monitor the situation.
"These Russian actions have all the signs of a deliberate tactic to undermine at all costs the efforts of" the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to make an objective assessment on the ground, Mr. Deshchytsia said at the OSCE in Vienna.

U.S. Escalates Sanctions Against Russia Over Ukraine Crisis

Treasury Targets Rosneft, Other Top Firms, Stops Short of Sectoral Measures; EU Also to Expand List

The Obama administration escalated its sanctions Wednesday against Russia over the fighting in Ukraine, marking a return to confrontation with President Vladimir Putin after determining that his hints at cooperation were leading nowhere.
The U.S. moves to impose restrictions on the Russian state-controlled oil giant OAO Rosneft and other top firms are aimed at squeezing Russia's already struggling economy and financial system. They followed weeks of U.S. threats that Russia would face repercussions unless it helped defuse the crisis in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russia separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian government for months.
The sanctions stop well short of crimping international business ties or blocking deals with entire sectors of the Russian economy.

The U.S. and Europe say separatists in Ukraine are getting significant support from Russia, an accusation Moscow has denied. Some U.S. lawmakers had questioned whether the Obama administration was ready to up the ante on sanctions.
Mr. Putin bristled at the new sanctions. "They tend to have a boomerang effect, and without a doubt, in this case they have driven Russian-American relations to a dead end, causing very serious damage," he said. "I am convinced that is to the detriment of the long-term national interests of the American government and its people."
Mr. Putin said all parties must urge the Ukrainian government and the separatists to sit down at the negotiating table.
The new measures mark a return to conflict after Mr. Putin had made some overtures toward cooperating with European nations.
"We have emphasized our preference to resolve this issue diplomatically, but that we have to see concrete actions and not just words that Russia in fact is committed to trying to end this conflict," President Barack Obama said in announcing the sanctions from the White House.

"I've repeatedly made it clear that Russia must halt the flow of weapons and fighters across the border into Ukraine, that Russia must urge separatists to release their hostages and support a cease-fire, that Russia needs to pursue internationally mediated talks and agree to meaningful monitors on the border," he said.
The latest round of sanctions signals increasing frustration among the U.S. and its European allies about the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine, where a brief cease-fire has fallen apart, fighting has spiked and the death toll has grown by the day.
In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have gained ground as rebels retreated to the regional capitals of Donetsk and Luhansk. But the military has suffered losses as well and failed to take full control of the east.
Mr. Putin revoked his authorization to deploy Russian troops in Ukraine in late June and supported the short-lived truce, actions that American and European officials had interpreted as positive signs. He also vowed to help secure the Russian border with southern Ukraine, the key source of reinforcements and weapons for the separatists.

In the Cross Hairs

Russian targets of sanctions
  • OAO Rosneft, biggest oil producer
  • OAO Novatek, second-biggest gas company
  • OAO Gazprombank, tied to gas-export monopoly
  • Vnesheconombank, state-owned development lender

But since then the U.S. has accused Russia of publicly calling for peace while covertly fueling the separatist revolt. Washington has also attacked Moscow for refusing to call on the separatists to lay down their arms, and pointed out that many of the separatist leaders hail from Russia and have ties to the Russian government.
Russia, meanwhile, has denied allegations of its support for the rebels and has called for the Ukrainian government to hold talks with the separatists and reach a truce. Moscow has also invited international observers to monitor the situation on the Russian side of the border.
As he announced the sanctions, Mr. Obama weighed in on three other global trouble spots: Israel, Iran and Afghanistan. The new U.S. move risks diminishing cooperation with Russia on other fronts, such as negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
The president called the new sanctions "significant" but "targeted." They're designed to inflict economic pain on Russia while limiting spillover on companies in the U.S. or allied nations.
The largest firms sanctioned are the state-controlled Rosneft, Russia's biggest oil producer; OAO Novatek, NVTK.MZ +1.48% the second-biggest gas company; OAO Gazprombank, the bank connected with the country's gas-export monopoly; and Vneshekonombank, or VEB, a state-owned development lender that provided much of the backing for the Sochi Olympics construction project.
For the four major Russian firms, the Treasury Department will now limit their access to equity financing and medium- and long-term debt coming from investors and lenders with ties to the U.S. The Treasury didn't block the assets of these companies or prevent U.S. citizens and U.S.-related firms from doing ordinary business with them.
U.S. business groups worry American companies are vulnerable to Russian reprisals if Washington puts tougher sanctions on Moscow than the European Union.
A spokeswoman for the National Association of Manufacturers said the group is "disappointed that the U.S. is fundamentally extending sanctions in increasingly unilateral ways that will undermine U.S. commercial engagement."
An executive at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the business lobby that has warned against broader sanctions, said it appreciated the Obama administration taking a "deliberate and narrow" approach in its latest move.
European leaders meeting in Brussels agreed to further sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. The decision should allow for Europe to cast its sanctions net wider, although the specific names to be added their list have yet to be decided. The leaders called for a decision on that by the end of July.
Their decision followed a determination that Russia hasn't met conditions they laid out at their last summit in June.
The new U.S. sanctions aren't aimed at disrupting the day-to-day business of the companies or their international joint projects, including the Arctic venture oil giant Rosneft is working on with Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM -2.91%
Rosneft Chief Executive Igor Sechin said the decision to sanction his company was baseless because it isn't involved in the crisis in Ukraine, according to the Interfax news agency. Speaking to reporters in Brasilia, he said Rosneft was financially able to carry out its projects without the need for bridge loans.
Though Mr. Sechin said the sanctions would harm Rosneft's American shareholders and U.S. banking partners, he vowed to continue cooperating with Exxon Mobil. "We are now in consultation with Exxon's lawyers and tentatively believe that this decision does not affect the implementation of our current projects," he said, according to Interfax.
VEB, Gazprombank and Novatek didn't immediately respond to requests for comment overnight in Moscow.
Besides the major firms, the U.S. also targeted additional Kremlin officials and the two main Ukrainian separatist entities: the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. A number of smaller defense-related companies, including the iconic Kalashnikov Concern and munitions producer Bazalt, also were hit with the type of sanctions leveled against other firms such as Bank Rossiya earlier this year.
Those effectively prevent U.S. entities and individuals from doing businesses with the Russian companies. The U.S. Treasury, for example, said Americans who already own Kalashnikovs can keep them or trade them on the secondary market but cannot buy new ones directly or indirectly from the Russian firm.
A U.S. official told reporters the new measures, over time, would hurt the ability of the firms to get dollar financing, likely pushing them to Russia's central bank. The Bank of Russia has already sold dollars this year to prop up the ruble, and its gold and foreign-exchange reserves fell to $478.3 billion in early July, from $509.6 billion in January
"These are tailored but meaningful: clearly intended to create market and capital complications for Russia and perhaps reignite a chill in business and capital investment in Russia," said Juan Zarate, a former White House and Treasury official who led efforts in the George W. Bush administration to cooperate with Moscow in the financial sphere.
Wednesday's sanctions follow a series of smaller steps, mostly targeting individuals, that the U.S. has taken in an effort to change Russia's behavior with respect to Ukraine.
The U.S. believes up to 12,000 Russian troops are stationed along the border, indicating a steady buildup over the last several weeks, said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
The assessment jibes with one made Monday by a military official at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, who said Russia has deployed 10,000 to 12,000 troops along its border with Ukraine, just a month after it had withdrawn those troops to less than 1,000. As many as 40,000 Russian troops were estimated to be in the area earlier this year.
