According to the publication, in exchange for excluding Nuland from the stop list, Washington lifted restrictive measures from some Russians, in particular the name of Konstantin Vorontsov, a specialist in the Department of Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, appears, who, due to a ban by the United States, has not been able to participate in UN events.
In addition, the publication’s source explained that Nuland’s exclusion from the sanctions list is also due to the fact that she now holds an official position in the Joe Biden administration.
“She was brought there when she worked in a non-governmental organization. Now we need to work with her,” the interlocutor said.
