The United States is deeply concerned about Russia's supply of military equipment to Myanmar's junta and will continue to seek ways to limit such cooperation between the two countries, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday.
Speaking in a telephone briefing on the two-year anniversary of Myanmar's military coup, U.S. State Department Counselor Derek Chollet told reporters that Washington would keep looking for ways to increase sanctions to make it difficult for the junta "to acquire arms or to generate revenue."
