The media reported on US plans for a "frank conversation" with Russia

The United States will have a "frank conversation" with Russia about its response to US sanctions. About this, as reported by "RIA Novosti", said a senior official of the US administration.

According to him, such conversations have already taken place, and are also scheduled for the near future.

“We are still trying to understand exactly what her [Russia’s] intentions are,” the US administration official said.

He said that the United States is not in the mood for escalation, but wants to show Russia "what kind of activity they do not want to tolerate."

In general, the US is showing a "long-term" approach to Russia, a US administration official said. “We weren't looking for instant gratification, we wanted the right answer,” he said, describing Joe Biden's first 100 days as president of the United States.
