Magnitsky Act, Russian response are not fatal for U.S.-Russia relations - Medvedev
MOSCOW. Jan 28 (Interfax) - The U.S. Magnitsky Act and the Russian response did not affect Moscow-Washington cooperation, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with the newspaper Handelsblatt.
"Certainly, that sent an unpleasant emotional wave but nothing fatal happened. We continue to cooperate in every area that we had been cooperating together earlier," he said.
Speaking of cooperation in global affairs, Russia and the United States "are doing rather well, for instance, at the G20," the prime minister noted.
Still, Medvedev thinks that Russia-U.S. economic cooperation "is not that good."
"Let us compare our cooperation with Germany and America. We have full-value economic partnership with Germany and rather limited trade and a not so big a number of projects with America although America is the biggest economy," the prime miniser said.
