WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Monday that Russia intends to "participate fully" in a G20 official debt service suspension initiative to help the poorest countries fight the coronavirus, the Treasury said in a statement.
The pledge came during a call today between the two finance ministers, during which they discussed the coronavirus pandemic and "response measures to support economic recovery in the United States and Russia," the Treasury said.
