Trump administration confirms anti-Russian sanctions to remain in place

"I think that Ambassador Haley has addressed that very forcefully at the UN, that until Russia leaves Crimea, that those sanctions are a non-starter," Spicer said, answering the question whether the US President supports the initiative of strengthening the monitoring of the Congress over anti-Russian sanctions, presented in the form of a new bill on Wednesday. Spicer also reiterated that there is another set of sanctions against Russia, associated with its aggression in eastern Ukraine.
