The Kremlin expressed respect for the "balanced position" of the USA after the Senate voted to suspend a series of additional sanctions against Russia.
After the vote, one of the representatives of the Russian government stated: "We welcome this step; it demonstrates that the American side is behaving racially and taking into account the interests of international security."
Notably, in the USA, a vote took place on a bill regarding the suspension of a series of additional sanctions against Russia. The bill received a majority of votes and is headed to Congress for final approval.
This step has become unexpected for many experts and analysts, as initial forecasts indicated a potential tightening of sanctions concerning Russia.
Representatives of a number of countries expressed disappointment regarding the adoption of such a decision, while other countries acknowledged the importance of supporting dialogue and constructive interaction.
