US sets conditions for lifting sanctions against Russia
(Baonghean.vn) - US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, at the online IMF Spring Meeting, outlined conditions under which Washington could lift sanctions against Moscow.
According to him, the restrictions could be lifted if Russia changes its policy. “We always want to be sure that the sanctions that have been passed can be lifted at some point if their (Russia’s) behavior changes,” Mr. Adeyemo said, quoted by the Financial Times.

The deputy minister stressed that the purpose of any restrictions is to "change behavior, not to punish anyone." Earlier on April 14, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the country would be ready to discuss the possibility of lifting some sanctions against the Russian Federation if Moscow and Kiev reached an agreement during negotiations.
A day earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the US was trying to provoke a debt crisis in the Russian Federation by banning foreign investments in Russian securities. According to the diplomat, in that case Washington is ready to sacrifice the interests of US companies that are leading in investing in the Russian economy./.
