Russia’s Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak complained in a speech that economic relations between Russia and the US were “immature” on account of the Jackson-Vanick amendment that banned the sale of sophisticated technologies to Russia and unwillingness of the United States to “develop cooperation across the Pacific”.

Meanwhile Daniel Russel of the US State Department promised abolition of the amendment in the future and said that its abolition would mark establishment of full-fledged relations of partners between our countries. Russel, reported to be the next US Ambassador to Russia, said that outstanding issues between the two countries included human rights observance in Russia, the situation in Georgia, and the case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

The American Enterprise Institute’s Richard Pearl said that development of the bilateral American-Russian relations was greatly impeded by undue centralisation of power, absence of free media, and neglect of the law in Russia: “I do not mean Khodorkovsky’s affair alone. There was also the matter of Sergei Magnitsky and many others.” займы без отказа займы без отказа https://zp-pdl.com/how-to-get-fast-payday-loan-online.php https://zp-pdl.com payday loan
