SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 7 (NNN-TASS) – The United States should stop exerting pressure on Russia, using a policy of sanctions, as experience shows that, this approach does not work with regard to Moscow, Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, said, speaking at the Fort Ross Dialogue international forum in San Francisco.
