“We need to strengthen political relations, expand bilateral, regional and international cooperation, jointly fight terrorism, and also confront US economic terrorism, which imposed sanctions against both us and Russia,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier it became known that the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a bill on the possibility of recognizing Russia as a “sponsor of terrorism” along with Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan.
This initiative provides for the introduction of additional economic sanctions against Moscow, as well as a possible ban on the supply of arms or the export control of dual-use goods.
