US says to retain sanctions till end of Russia’s military campaign

WASHINGTON, May 26 (PRIME) -- The U.S. will keep in power its anti-Russian sanctions not linked to food supplies until the end of the military campaign in Ukraine, official spokesman of the State Department Ned Price said late on Wednesday.

“U.S. sanctions are not causing disruptions to Russia’s agricultural exports… I think we have – all have good reason to be skeptical when we hear various pledges and offers from Russia… Our nonfood sanctions will remain in place until (the end of Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine),” he said.

“We certainly won’t lift our sanctions in response to empty promises,” he added.
