Commenting on the new anti-Russian resolution approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not expect any sober-minded assessments from U.S. legislators.
"This very unfriendly, rampant anti-Russian sentiment line continues. This is a continuation of this emotional exaltation," TASS cited him as saying.
The Kremlin spokesman stressed that such bills can only have an adverse effect on relations between Russia and the U.S.
"It will be easy for any expert who knows the United States’ modern and contemporary history to predict that, as the presidential election approaches, the intensity of Russophobia will only increase, because, much to our regret, anti-Russian sentiment has always been used as an electoral tool in the US," Peskov concluded.
