Russia ties normalization of relations with the West to the lifting of all sanctions

Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko said that normalization of relations with the US and Europe depends on the removal of all sanctions.

Postxronika.az reports, citing TASS, that the diplomat said this during a speech at the 19th Verona Eurasian Economic Forum.

According to Grushko, it is difficult to develop relations between Russia and the West while sanctions remain in force. He urged the United States and Western European countries to lift all restrictions imposed on Russia.
