Washington, June 30: Busting of a Russian spy network that included “deep cover” agents, is unlikely to have any adverse impact on US-Russia relationship, which has improved significantly under the Obama Administration, White House has said.
“I do not believe that this will affect the reset of our relationship with Russia,” White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs told reporters.
He was flooded with questions about the arrest of 10 individuals by the FBI on Monday including eight “deep cover” agents, spying for the Russian spy network.
“We have made great progress in the past year and a half, working on issues of mutual concern from a New START treaty to working together on things like in the United Nations dealing with North Korea and Iran. So I do not think that this will affect those relations,” Gibbs said.
