Comments by Russia's foreign minister Ryabkov
- Sees that US attempts to revise potential agreements reached during Trump-Putin summit
- Says that all options are on the table when it comes to possible retaliation against US sanctions
The rouble was under pressure earlier in the week from further US sanctions but has since recovered a little following the Russian central bank's decision to suspend FX purchases until the end of September.
But in terms of finding a long-term solution, the prospects are also bleak - like most other current negotiations/discussions/disputes with the US tend to be.
