Moscow: We will respond to new US sanctions

Russia will respond to the extension of the sanctions approved by the US Senate, said First Deputy Head of the Federation Council's International Committee Vladimir Dzabarov.

The Senate Senate's position on Russia's sanctions does not correspond to the situation in the world or the situation in bilateral relations, said Head of the International Committee of the Federation Council, Konstantin Kosacov, reports Tanjug. "It is necessary to wait for the final decision of the Congress and see what will be the reaction of US President Donald Trump. If the law is adopted, in any case, we will not leave it unanswered," he said.

'A grieving fact'

The US Senate has almost unanimously approved a new sanction package on Wednesday to punish Russia for interfering in the 2016 US election. "Obviously, the vicious circle is obvious when the previous step that did not give the 'required' result dictates the necessity of the next, sharper, but not more efficient," Konstantin Kosacov said. The Russian senator believes that there is no hope that the House of Representatives of the United States Congress will make a different decision, but to wait and see what US President Donald Trump will do - "whether in this situation will preserve the ability to act independently and not be subjugated by instincts Self-preservation ".

Kosac stressed that the Senate's decision is a sad fact, as it confirms that most US senators are unable to stop, analyze their actions and return to adopting decisions that are in line with the situation. "This is indicated by the fact that new sanctions on Russia are" wagon ", which is reported, as it is said in all parliaments in the world, for the second draft law (against Iran), Kosacic said.
