"We are observing reports of such speeches and proposals for new restrictions. We generally consider such restrictions as illegal from the point of view of international law and, of course, we can only regret the new and new impulses that some people try to give in general to the American politics, "Peskov told reporters, answering a question whether the Kremlin is familiar with such plans.

“This, of course, does not in any way contribute to the normalization of our bilateral relations. We expect that these plans will remain at the level of statements, will not materialize in any way,” he added.
