STATEMENT

July 23, 2017 By cra-eb

CRA expresses great regret over the efforts of some in the U.S. Congress to make permanent the sanctions that the Obama administration imposed on the Russian Federation. This decision to impose sanctions on Russia undermined world peace and resulted in needless economic losses to both nations and became a major hindrance to constructive dialogue. It does not serve America’s interest at all to spiral downward into the abyss of russophobia, as the end results will be long-lasting. CRA believes that there are no fundamental reasons why two great world powers, America and Russia, cannot find away to a peaceful and mutually-advantageous cooperation.


ЗАЯВЛЕНИЕ

Конгресс русских американцев (КРА) выражает огромное сожаление в связи с усилиями, которые предпринимают некоторые члены Конгресса США и добиваются того, чтобы санкции, введенные администрацией Обамы в отношении Российской Федерации, сделать постоянными.

Такое решение о введении санкций в отношении России подорвет усилия по поддержанию мира, приведет к бесполезным экономическим потерям для обеих стран и станет серьезным препятствием на пути конструктивного диалога. Такое решение никак не может служить американским интересам, поскольку оно затянет США в водоворот русофобии с долгосрочными губительными результатами.

КРА считает, что нет никаких фундаментальных причин, по которым две великие мировые державы, Америка и Россия, не могут найти пути к мирному и взаимовыгодному сотрудничеству.
