Answer Russia for new sanctions introduced by the United States due to the situation with the founder of the FBK (included the Ministry of Justice of Russia into the register of organizations that perform the functions of a foreign agent, and recognized as an extremist organization) Alexey Navalny, will be tough and adequate. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry of Maria Zakharov, her words are given on the website of the department.
“We consider such hostile actions of the administration [US President] Joe Bayiden as dictated by the lack of political will and the reluctance to build Russian-American relations on a partnership basis,” the diplomat noted.
she added that Washington introduces new sanctions against Russia under the contrary pretexts and “against the background of the largest foreign policy failure for the United States in Afghanistan, fraught with unpredictable consequences.”
