The White House is not against lifting the sanctions against Russia, but there are no reasons for it, White House spokesman Josh Ernest announced the official viewpoint of Barack Obama.
"The US is ready to soften sanctions against Russia when we see the evidence of fulfillment of the obligations in respect of the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,’’ he said.
"However, we do not see them,’’ RIA Novosti cites him as saying.
Recall that today the United States confirmed that on September 28th Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama are to hold a meeting. The main topics of the talks will be Syria and Ukraine.
