U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said said that "it is not a foregone conclusion" that the US will lift sanctions on Russia if it reaches a diplomatic agreement with Ukraine.
“A lot of that depends on what the shape and scope of that diplomatic agreement is and a lot of it depends on what the Ukrainians [consult] with us and the Europeans come to agree to,” Sullivan told an audience at the Economic Club of Washington, DC.
"You know, we're not going to do a deal over the head of the Ukrainians where we get a bunch of sanctions relief to Russia. But if some measure of sanctions relief were built into some credible diplomatic solution, led by the Ukrainians, that's something that we would happily assess," CNN cited him as saying.
