Member of the Russian Federation Council's Defense and Security Committee Franz Klintsevich also said the introduction of such sanctions is "absolutely pointless."
"Any provocations against our country -- and the incident in the Kerch Strait was one of them beyond any doubt -- have been suppressed and will continue to be suppressed in the strictest way regardless of any sanctions," Klintsevich was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying.
Meanwhile, he noted that the bill, if passed, could complicate interactions between the special services of Russia and the United States, which would be against Washington's interests.
On Nov. 25, Russia seized three Ukrainian warships and 24 sailors on board near the Kerch Strait connecting the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, accusing them of breaching the Russian border.
Tensions have flared up between Russia and Ukraine following the incident. Moscow has called the incident a provocation, while Kiev denied any wrongdoing.
