To improve bilateral relations, Russia needs to address US concerns about the alleged interference in the US election, the assassination of the former double agent in the UK and the role of Moscow in the events in Syria and Ukraine.

This was stated by the Russian ambassador to Anatoly Antonov, US National Security Advisor John Bolton. Their first meeting took place on Thursday in the White House.

The duration of the talks is not reported, but the White House statement says that Bolton and Antonov "discussed the state of relations between the United States and Russia."

“Bolton stressed that improving relations is in the interests of both the United States and Russia, but this will require resolving our concerns about Russia's interference in the 2016 election of the year, the irresponsible use of chemical weapons in the UK and situations in Syria and Ukraine,” the statement said.

About how exactly this “concern” should be resolved is not explained in the document.

The US government accuses Russia of interfering in the presidential election of 2016 of the year, and also supports the assessment of the UK, according to which Russia probably applied the nerve agent “Novice” when attempting to kill the former GRU agent Sergey Skripal.

Russia strongly rejects both accusations.

On Wednesday, the United States called on members of the UN Security Council and other countries to join them in creating a united front against the use of chemical weapons, saying that normalization of its use should not be allowed.

“We have already made it clear that the United States agrees with the United Kingdom’s assessment that Russia is responsible for the use of chemical weapons on British soil - whether it is a deliberate use or the inability to declare and protect their stocks of this nerve agent”, - State Department spokesman Heather Neuert said.

“Only the Russian government has the motives, the means and the precedents of such attacks. Russia developed a type of combat nerve agent that was used in Salisbury and in the past carried out killings with the sanction of the state, ”her statement said.

Neuert added that instead of changing their harmful and destructive behavior, the Russian authorities "only deny everything and put forward counter accusations in order to divert attention from their responsibility."

Speaking about Syria on Thursday, Neuert stressed that the United States has reliable information that Russia and Syria are trying to "sanitize" the sites of alleged use of chemical weapons in the Duma, while trying to delay the access of inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW ) to the place of the alleged crime.

"We have reliable information indicating that representatives of the Russian authorities are cooperating with the Syrian regime in order to prevent and detain the access of these inspectors to the Duma (Damascus suburb) ... Russian representatives have collaborated with the Syrian regime to disinfect the site of alleged attacks and eliminate evidence of use chemical weapons, ”said Neuert.

She noted that even today, after 12 days after the alleged chemical attack, the OPCW experts could not get into the Duma.

Earlier, UN security officers came under fire while trying to conduct a reconnaissance mission in the Duma, where the OPCW inspectors are to arrive. The city also thundered. According to a source at the UN, none of the mission members was hurt.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the US would impose new sanctions on the Russian government “as soon as they deserve it.”

Trump responded to a question asked to him when he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe posed for photos after a joint press conference on Wednesday evening.

After that, the American leader returned to the microphone to reiterate that "no one takes a tougher stance towards Russia than President Donald Trump."
