Russia will not bargain with the United States and the EU on sanctions concerning Russia, said Russia's permanent representative at the EU Vladimir Chizhov.
"I think that we (Russia) will not be with them (with the US and the EU - ed.) to discuss (sanctions), we are not going to haggle ", he said in the broadcast television channel.
According to the Russian Ambassador to the EU, punishment is " a problem that they created, i.e. the European Union and the United States, and to solve this problem ".
Relations between Russia and the West deteriorated in connection with the situation in Ukraine. The EU and the US from point penalties against certain individuals and organizations have moved to the measures against entire sectors of the Russian economy. In response, Russia restricted imports of food items from countries that have imposed against her punishment: USA, EU, Canada, Australia and Norway.
