The Kremlin said Thursday it hoped US lawmakers would continue to block White House requests for emergency aid for Ukraine amid an internal feud in Washington over immigration reforms.

Republican senators earlier blocked $106 billion in emergency aid primarily for Ukraine and Israel as conservatives balked at the exclusion of immigration reforms they had demanded as part of the package.

“It is to be hoped that there remain enough people with sober minds among American congressmen,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

      Who’s parading Russia’s flag around? These gross mischaracterizations don’t help anyone, it stops you and people like you from understanding the other side and keeps the other side from wanting to communicate.

        When Russia and you are on the same side of democracy, something’s wrong with your end.
