A US report detailing new sanctions against Russia will be published on January 29, the TASS news agency reported citing US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman on Tuesday.

Washington is expected to impose fresh penalties against Russia for its alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential vote, an allegation Russia has repeatedly denied.
