These transactions, however, have complicated Moscow’s relations with foreign governments, particularly the United States. American officials complain that Russia’s self-imposed restrictions on arms sales are much weaker than those of Western countries, especially with regard to authoritarian governments accused of committing human rights violations or states seeking weapons of mass destruction.
