Руководители российских силовых служб посетили Вашингтон

Как сообщает Коммерсант.ру со ссылкой на The Washington Post, на прошлой неделе Вашингтон посетили глава Службы внешней разведки (СВР) Сергей Нарышкин, глава Федеральной службы безопасности (ФСБ) Александр Бортников и руководитель главного управления Генштаба ВС (бывшее главное разведуправление, ГРУ) Игорь Коробов.

Коммерсант.ру отмечает, что глава ГРУ Коробов посетил США, находясь под санкциями. Примечательно, что Игорь Коробов с декабря 2016 года находится под персональными американскими санкциями, которые запрещают ему въезд в США. Ограничительные меры были введены в связи с предполагаемым США вмешательством России в выборы президента.

Издание также отмечает, что это редкий случай, когда в США одновременно приезжают несколько руководителей российской разведки. Согласно The Washington Post, российские официальные лица обсуждали с американскими коллегами сотрудничество в борьбе с терроризмом.

"Этот необычный визит вызвал обеспокоенность у некоторых американских официальных лиц в связи с тем, что Москва может воспринять эти встречи как признак готовности администрации Трампа оставить позади тему российского вмешательства в президентские выборы",- передает газета слова источников.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides.
