The United States will soon announce new sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Syria, CBS News reports citing the US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.
"You will see that Russian sanctions will increase. Minister (US Treasury) Mnuchin will announce this on Monday, if he has not already done so, and they will be directed to companies that supply equipment and technologies related to Assad's chemical weapons," the diplomat said.
Also, Haley excluded the possibility of direct negotiations between the West and Bashar Assad:
"The US will never agree to direct negotiations with the Assad regime, because the government of the Syrian president is" not worthy "to participate in the talks" one on one", said Haley.
Recall that on the night of April 14, the United States, Britain and France struck at Syrian military facilities associated with chemical weapons. Countries have resorted to military intervention, since they are responsible for the alleged Syrian government, the Russian Federation and Iran for the alleged chemical attack in the city of the Duma.
Later on the same day, the UN Security Council refused to support the draft resolution submitted by Russia during an emergency meeting, in which it acknowledged the "aggression" a blow to Syria.
