New US Sanctions Not on Table for Canceled Ryabkov-Shannon Meeting - State Dept.
19:34 GMT 22.06.2017 (Updated: 11:45 GMT 06.08.2022) New US sanctions were not among the issues on the table for a canceled meeting between US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Thomas Shannon and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, US State Department Spokesman Heather Nauert said on Thursday.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, Russia announced it had canceled the Ryabkov-Shannon consultations scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg on June 23 after the United States expanded anti-Russian sanctions on Tuesday.
"The issue of sanctions was never on the table for this meeting that was canceled. This meeting was about more minor issues. Sanctions can be dealt with in a very separate way," Nauret said.
On June 20, the US Department of the Treasury introduced sanctions against 38 individuals and entities over their alleged involvement in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Russia has consistently denied the allegations of meddling in Ukraine's internal affairs and pointed out that the policy of sanctions is counterproductive as well a can destabilize the region and the world.
