I wonder if the Russia Sanction related amendments tacked onto the Iran bill address this possibility.......
Or if Tillerson is bringing up this Minsk nonsense because of the senate vote......

Senate overwhelmingly votes to impose new sanctions on Russia over election meddling

To take effect, the measure would also have to pass the House of Representatives and be signed into law by Trump. If Trump objected, some of its backers said they expected enough congressional support to override a veto.

"Today the Senate has finally confronted Russia for interfering in our elections. This bipartisan amendment is the sanctions regime that the Kremlin deserves for its actions," said Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a leader of the push for the legislation.

The only two "no" votes on the Russia bill were from Republican Senators Mike Leeand Rand Paul.
