More sanctions against Russia?

The US State Department representative said that Moscow might be sanctioned for its cooperation with Damascus.

It should be recalled that the Russian operation in Syria is held in agreement with the constitutional government and has not violated international norms, unlike the US occupation and its "allies" from ISIS.

The US’s statement on Russia’s supposed wrongdoing came after it was proven that the US military cooperated with ISIS and “Jabhat al-Nusra”, which are recognized terrorist groups, and that Washington was involved in the attack on the UN humanitarian convoy.

At the same time, all Western accusations against Russia crumble like a house of cards, and Washington understands that there is nothing with which to reproach Moscow from the point of view of international law. Therefore, provocations are becoming clearer and rhetoric harsher.

However, the US has quietly, without advertising, already removed part of the anti-Russian sanctions. The company "Rosoboronexport" was excluded from the banning list which, following the “peace-loving" logic of Washington, should have been, on the contrary, tightened.

Special Representative of the President of Russia on Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, explained that, without removing this part of the sanctions, the US would not be able to continue operations in Afghanistan, as the repair and maintenance of helicopters would become impossible. Thus, the US has removed those sanctions which do not benefit it while forcing Europe to renew others and bring themselves to the brink of economic collapse.

Despite the US’s unfriendly rhetoric, according to Kabulov, “there was no problem lifting the sanctions against "Rosoboronexport" in respect to the delivery and maintenance of our helicopters deployed in Afghanistan. They drove themselves into a dead end and had to take back some of the sanctions."

However, the Ukrainian crisis, over which sanctions were imposed, has not been mentioned this time.
