Russia carefully analyzes all of Washington’s statements regarding sanctions, they are unjustified, and the United States does not have a chance of achieving its goal, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated.
Moscow plans to give a mirror response to US sanctions against individuals, businesses, Moscow’s sanctions list will also be expanded, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.
“The answer is a loose concept. Of course, we thoroughly and carefully analyze what is being announced in Washington. But whatever they declare, our answer is the same, that all this is absolutely unreasonable. And there is no chance that they will achieve the goals they pursue” Ryabkov noted.
The United States is aware of Russia’s readiness to begin substantive discussions of the issue of the alleged meddling in the US elections in the interdepartmental format, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told Sputnik.
“We did not do anything that could give the United States grounds to make such accusations against us. They are unable to provide us with any evidence for such insinuations. We have not made any progress on the matter, even though the United States is aware of our readiness to launch substantive discussions on the matter in the interdepartmental format, if we see at least the slightest sign of them having a more reasonable, realistic approach, less politicized approach that is not tied to rejecting modern Russia as a factor in international affairs,” Ryabkov said.
