The controversy surrounding Edward Snowden has added a new strain to the U.S.-Russian relationship. Carnegie's Andrew S. Weiss appeared on Al Jazeera English to discuss how the incident impacts relations between the two countries. While Russia has not indicated willingness to grant Snowden asylum, Moscow is refusing to extradite him to the United States. This approach is indicative of the general Russian stance towards the United States, Weiss asserted. Moscow is willing to cooperate on some matters, such as Afghanistan and counterterrorism, but at the same time continues to be critical of U.S. policies that are seen as an irritant by the Kremlin, he explained.
