US banknotes and US visa. File photoWASHINGTON, Apr 30 The administration of US President Joe Biden is exploring the possibility of removing a number of visa requirements for qualified Russian workers to make it easier for them to move to the country and thereby weaken Russia's high-tech potential, Bloomberg reports citing sources familiar with the plans. The Biden administration is said to have asked Congress for a way to remove the proof-of-employment requirement for highly educated Russians who want U.S. work visas. Thus, the sources explain, the White House expects to deprive the Russian leadership of «specialists in the field of science, engineering and mathematics.» , advanced manufacturing, nuclear technology, the development of artificial intelligence, missile technology, and a number of other areas. An unnamed representative of the White House National Security Council confirmed to the agency that these measures are designed to «weaken Russia's high-tech resources in the short term and undermine its investment base in the long term, and also benefit the economy and strengthen US national security».
