Washington is coming up with new ways of putting pressure on Moscow.

This was told by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. According to her, in 2017, Americans arrested 11 Russians.

This happens with the help of other countries, to which the United States has a great influence. Zakharova demanded that she immediately cease abducting people, but noted that the Trump administration would certainly not do this. "Also, we certainly demand that the United States stop the unacceptable practice of hunting Russian citizens around the world, although, unfortunately, the US does not show readiness," RIA Novosti quotes it.. The diplomat warned that the danger is real and those who are already on the pencil of the American special services, specifically lured abroad, after blackmailing the Kremlin. "Often specially lured abroad under various pretexts, then arrested and taken to the US," Zakharova added..

Another way of pressure is to block international bank transfers. The United States Treasury Department detained $ 20,000 that was sent from Russia to the Association of Oceanic Fisheries of China. "You know, it seems that they are already afraid that fish will interfere in the internal affairs of the United States," Zakharova said.. She explained that this situation is not the first, but all the actions of Americans show that they do not intend to resume dialogue and establish relations.
