“These are such internal parliamentary exercises.

In order for them to be somehow formalized and even more activated, they have to go a very long way, ”Peskov said.

According to him, in various commissions of the Congress there are many people who "do not understand the Russian reality well", but at the same time "do not like our country."

He added that it is too early to comment on such projects.

Earlier, members of the US House of Representatives Rules Committee approved an amendment to the defense budget for the next fiscal year, which recommends the country's administration to consider the possibility of sanctions against 35 Russian businessmen, journalists and politicians.

The document is to undergo consideration by the Congress, after which the amendment will also have a recommendatory character.
