Russia has expressed satisfaction over the possibility that the United States may include Chechen rebel groups in its list of terrorist organizations. A spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Saturday that such a move would strengthen cooperation and assistance between the U.S. and Russia and demonstrate the effectiveness of the international coalition against terrorism. If Washington includes the Chechen groups in its terrorist list, providing aid and donations to them in the U.S. would be considered illegal, and their members would not be able to obtain entry visas to the United States. Russia has long been working to label the Chechen rebels as terrorists. The U.S. has asked Russia to find a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflicts in Chechnya.
