US Ambassador Sullivan declared the impossibility of a complete severance of relations between Moscow and Washington

“We can't take and break off diplomatic relations and stop talking to each other... Whatever it is, it's better when we talk to each other in the UN, in the Security Council.

And we should have embassies.

This is the absolute minimum,” he said in an interview with TASS.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on the air of the Italian TV channel La7, previously reported that the collective West, led by the United States, had long moved to break off relations with Russia.

On June 3, the US Department of Commerce announced sanctions against 71 enterprises from Russia and Belarus.
