According to the press, large businessmen from Russia launched an active lobbying campaign in Washington in order to avoid getting into black lists .

“I urge to perceive this report, it is based on its real, and not far -fetched essence and without emotions. After all, the relationship between our countries is far from exhausted by this legal act. And I was reminded of this in Washington, where I was two weeks ago,” Huntsman said.

He noted that six months ago Congress "voted to strengthen sanctions" by the absolute majority. “This is simply the implementation of the voting results, which took place in August,” the ambassador emphasized.

"Congress will decide how this report will be brought to the attention of the public. The decision (on disclosing information) will completely depend on the congress. Congressmen can publish it and can leave it closed. It is now difficult to say," Huntsman recalled.

The ambassador spoke about the recent trip to Washington: “I met with the leadership of the Congress, with the leadership of the executive branch, that is, with many important politicians and responsible persons who participate in the process of making government decisions. And they are very interested in the relationship between the United States and Russia to work ... I have not met a single person who would like to destroy. Every A responsible approach to the construction of American -Russian relations, ”he said.

“I know that the president would like to see an improvement in relations. I think he would like to devote more time to relations with Russia as such, he already talks a lot about relations and showed his commitment to this,” the diplomat added.

When he was asked about the possibility of the US summit - Russia, Huntsman replied: "Any summit needs to be developed. You cannot conduct a summit for the summit, you need to take steps in the direction that would create the prerequisites for the meeting."

The list is prepared by the State Department and the US Treasury in accordance with the sanctions law adopted by Congress last summer. The government should submit a list of oligarchs, the approximate size of their conditions, sources of income of the oligarchs themselves and their close relatives.
