“The discussion around impeachment and the procedures associated with this is a purely internal matter of the United States. We don’t have anything to do with it, we don’t appreciate any relationship between work on our agenda, including arms control, and what happens in connection with the impeachment procedure, from our point of view, there cannot be and cannot be, ” - RIA Novosti quotes the words of a diplomat.

Earlier, the US House of Representatives approved both articles of indictment about abuse of power and obstruction of the work of Congress as part of the impeachment procedure of the president of the country.

Trump commented on the vote, calling it "the continuation of the largest witch hunt in US history." He also demanded the immediate start of the impeachment process in the Senate.
