The U.S. Congress banned the Pentagon to cooperate with the “Rosoboronexport”

To reverse this decision will be possible only after Russia will reconsider its position on Syria and Ukraine.

Moscow. 9 Mar. INTERFAX.RU — the lower house of the U.S. Congress on Wednesday approved a draft defense budget for 2017, which forbids the Pentagon’s cooperation with Rosoboronexport.

For the document in favor of the 371 member house of representatives, against — 48.

American defense Ministry is prohibited to enter into with the Russian company and its subsidiaries of any contract, corporate agreements, give them grants, loans, or credit orders

The Pentagon can achieve the lifting of the ban in the case, if so required in the interest of the security of the United States, but only after convincing both houses of Congress that Russia stopped the supply of lethal weapons to Syria and withdrew from Ukraine its agents and the military.
