Lavrov answered questions about the US proposals to lift sanctions

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with CBS that the United States has not received any concrete proposals to lift sanctions against Russia.

According to Lavrov, such information circulating in the media cannot be taken seriously. Because they have no clear and official basis.

"The United States has clearly expressed its interest in doing business with us. We are always ready to consider any business proposal based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and balance of interests," Lavrov said.

At the same time, the minister stressed that the possibility of American companies returning to the Russian market depends on their own will and decision.

Recall that earlier Bloomberg reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump is considering easing sanctions against Russia in negotiations over Ukraine. However, it was noted that the issue of lifting the main sanctions cannot be implemented without the consent of the US Congress and its European allies.

Russian officials have repeatedly stated that the country has not requested the lifting of sanctions and is not bound by the decisions of the West. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
