MOSCOW - 26 July 2017: Draft new U.S. sanctions against Russia leave no room to improve ties between Moscow and Washington in the near future and take the relationship into uncharted waters, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, the Interfax news agency reported.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to slap new sanctions on Russia and force President Donald Trump to obtain lawmakers' permission before easing any sanctions on Moscow.
