Russia: Russia-US relations become victims of US politician campaign

　　China News Agency, Moscow, June 11 (Reporter Wang Xiujun) The US Republican Research Council (RSC) submitted a report on the 10th, which recommended the most severe sanctions against Russia. In this regard, the Russian President’s press secretary Peskov said on the 11th that Russia-US relations have become victims of the US politician campaign.

　　Peskov said that the Russian side regrets the impulse of some American politicians. Generally speaking, these sanctions are against international law. These proposals will not be of any help to the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States. I hope that these sanctions will only stay at the recommendation stage and will not be implemented.

　　Peskov said that before the US election, the topic of Russian-US relations was always hyped. With the advancement of the US election campaign, bilateral relations between Russia and the United States will become the sacrifices that American politicians must pay to succeed in the election.

　　Kosachev, chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament), said that if the United States imposes sanctions on Russia again, it will cause the relationship between the two sides to retreat for decades.

　　The Chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the State Duma (lower house of parliament) of Russia, Slutsky, said that the idea of ​​sanctions against Russia is due to the needs of US domestic politics. If these recommendations are implemented, it will lead to further deterioration of Russia-US relations.

　　Slutsky said that this report was written by someone who was out of reality. Sanctions have become the main tool of US diplomacy, but sooner or later (sanctions) "will be used on the US itself like a boomerang." Any sanctions against Russia will not lead to Russia’s isolation.

　　In response to the mention of "Russia's financing of terrorist organizations" in the report, Slutsky said that this is not the first time that the Russian side has heard such remarks. Russia is fighting terrorist organizations on all fronts. This is different from the United States-the United States hooks up with the Syrian terrorist organization and calls it a "moderate opposition".

　　Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zaharova said that the statement about "Russia financing terrorist organizations" is very shameless. Some political classes in the United States have tried to use reports to increase their popularity in the anti-Russian wave. Russia has long been accustomed to this. (Finish)
