The United States authorities make every effort to connect to the sanctions against Russia the various powers of the world. In the list of countries with which Washington is negotiating includes Norway, Switzerland, South Korea, Singapore and China.

The coordinator of the state Department of the United States Ambassador Daniel fried told that the United States is not relying on the strength of its own penalties against Russia, asks to join them different powers. However it was also suggested that we are not talking about a new cold war.

The American diplomat said that Norway and Switzerland, not being members of the European Union, "in most cases, support the punishment of the EU". In this regard, the American politicians expect from them the same showarchive in the future.

"We also talk with South Korea and Singapore, we had consultations with China, and we will continue to pursue its consultations" - quoted by ITAR-TASS of Daniel fried. The coordinator of the state Department of the United States was not able certainly to say, in what the authorities expect power.

"Such things are difficult to quantify, but, in our opinion, the direct effect would be significant, but indirect - even more so," said he. Together with this, the diplomat expressed regret that the situation has reached the use of punishment. He expressed the hope that the United States and Russia will return to a more constructive relationship", and another said that we are not talking about the beginning of a new cold war.

And yet, despite all statements about the need for a fruitful conversation, the United States continues to negotiate with other States, inviting them to use sanctions against Russia. China has already expressed his point of view, conditional use punishment on the world political arena.

Foreign powers are alternately opposed to "in the practice of international relations whenever the question was raised about the use of punishment and heard threats on their implementation". "We hope that the relevant parties through dialogue and negotiation will solve the existing issues, and trade and economic cooperation will not be politicized," said a Chinese diplomat Hong Lei.

Then China is often opposed unilateral sanctions against Russia, which, however, does not stop Washington from negotiations with Beijing about fresh restrictive measures. Moscow, moreover, reported that Russia and China are not ready to agree that the West should "enjoy the music" on the world stage, because to expect from Beijing consent to punishment is not worth it.
