Kremlin says would welcome Rusal minimizing impact of U.S. sanctions

The Kremlin can only welcome Russian aluminum giant Rusal succeeding in minimizing the impact of U.S. sanctions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday. On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury said it would lift sanctions on the core empire of Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska, including Rusal and its parent En+, as they have agreed to restructure to reduce Deripaska's stakes. The deal is a corporate matter for Rusal only, Peskov said, when asked whether the Kremlin had approved it.
