Baku-APA. The United States will continue to develop relations with Russia despite the spy scandal, said Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Gordon, APA reports quoting itar-tass.com website.

He said the United States and Russia had made significant progress in the past 18 months and the scandal must not damage bilateral relations.

He also said that the U.S. administration was in contact with the Russian government and had no information that Moscow could retaliate the detention of suspected spies.

U.S. President Barack Obama has refused to comment on the spy scandal with Russia, the Associated Press news agency said.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Monday the arrest of ten people suspected of spying for Russia. Five of them have faced the New York Federal Court.
