The administration of the United States claims that the anti-punishment, introduced jointly with the European Union, have not received the predictable political effect. Washington insists that all restrictive measures aimed against Russia, should be entered with the participation of the European States. The white house reports that the anti-sanctions imposed on the initiative of the United States, has received virtually no political result, affecting only on the financial situation. A senior civil servant in the administration of the state is almost a sign of weakness restrictive measures against Russia as an instrument of political pressure. Russia has a strong and independent policy, which is based on the internal interests of the state and compliance with the norms of international law, because its solution is difficult to break. "I think our pressure has a valid effect. Do you have in mind a political outcome that will force them to reconsider the course? Yet. But this does not mean that this will not happen" - quoted by TASS representative of the White house. The American authorities "consider all opportunities to enhance the impact in light of the fact that done." With all this, they report that more powerful effect can be achieved if the United States and the powers of the European Union work together. Similar statements can say that the European powers will be forced to the detriment of the interests of the region not to make steps towards the Russian Federation. United States and European Union imposed sanctions against the Russian Federation in connection with the outbreak in the Ukraine incident. Russia emphasizes that the worsening of the crisis - domestic problem, which would have all the chances for a peaceful settlement, if the Western powers did not escalate the situation, trying to achieve their political goals.
