"One thing is clear: if this law enters into force — and the US president should understand this — Russian-US cooperation in resolving major international problems, including countering international terrorism, will be extremely difficult, if at all possible," Klintsevich said.
The US House of Representatives approved by a 419-3 vote on Tuesday a new version of a bill that would impose sweeping sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea, and limit President Donald Trump’s ability to lift the restrictions on Moscow. The measures target Russia's defense, intelligence, mining, shipping and railway industries, and restrict dealings with Russian banks and energy companies.
"Unfortunately, I must state that the world could enter a new 'Cold War'," Klintsevich said.
