The United States does not intend to discuss any possibility of relaxing any anti-Russian sanctions until a ceasefire in Ukraine, Spokeswoman for the US Department of State Tammy Bruce said at a regular news briefing for journalists, APA reports.
Replying to a question as to whether the US Department of State received any instructions from the White House to compile a list of sanctions which may be loosened, Bruce emphasized that she was not ready to discuss this issue. "What I can say is a reminder that what was clear from the beginning, there would be no negotiations. No decisions, no arrangements, until after the carnage has stopped," she asserted. That said, the official insisted that "it's clearly a dynamic where there have to be more questions about the nature of who's really committed to peace and a ceasefire."

who cares?
Your Putin is running out of time to accept President Trump’s Easter ceasefire.
Classic Mexican standoff. We want Russia to agree to all our demands, and won’t discuss anything about sanctions or their stolen currency and gold until after a cease fire. And after the cease-fire Russia will have no leverage remaining. Russians play chess, they know if we were inclined to remove the sanctions ever, we would do it right now in exchange for something worthwhile.
This is the equivalent of a woman saying she promises to discuss sleeping with you next week …if you pay her rent today on the first.
Yeah, right! I suppose Witkoff and Putin were discussing St. Petersburg’s weather for five hours last week. The State Department and Kellogg are out of the loop. Pay attention to Witkoff, that’s where the action is.
Thank you, for your post.
With all the FAKE NEWS being shared, I appreciate your info.
I think this is probably for the consumption of somebody who isn’t us. This is probably another bizarre attempt to placate the Ukrainians again. Because Lord no we wouldn’t want to offend those people who utterly depend on us for their financial well-being. Lol
Witkoff and Rubio are in Paris for the next 3 days discussing EU sanctions relief for Russia as part of the Easter ceasefire deal negotiations.
No one cares
“EU sanctions relief for Russia”
I think you are wrong.
Russia certainly cares.
Hush hypocrite.
“Hush hypocrite.”
You must be talking to yoursel while looking in a mirror! LOL
Hush liar.

Me scared.
“With all the FAKE NEWS being shared, I appreciate your info.”
LOL, Marcus is one of the biggest fake news posters. But you are in contention also.
“Hush liar.”
Stuck on your own self again!
“Classic Mexican standoff. We want Russia to agree to all our demands”
Good point. Never thought Russia would ever think they would have no. I just though Putin was just waiting for President Trump’s term in office was over.
