“We continue to urge all countries to avoid major new deals to acquire Russian weapons systems,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Blinken said that the US authorities have not yet decided on possible sanctions against India due to the purchase of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Earlier, Russian Ambassador to New Delhi Denis Alipov said that the supply of S-400 systems to India is going according to plan and the sanctions will not affect the fulfillment of the contract.
