Washington,SANA- Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov on Friday described as “a step in the right direction” the US decision to lift restrictions imposed on Russian diplomatic missions.
“On the whole, we consider the decision by the US administration to lift financial restrictions on Russian diplomatic missions to be a step in the right direction, although belated,” TASS news agency quoted Antonov as saying in a statement.
We hope that banks will correctly perceive the signal from the financial regulator and stop blocking the transactions necessary to ensure the normal functioning of Russian diplomatic institutions,” he added.
