Deputy foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was called a sanctions policy of the United States fresh view of offensive weapons. Russia will not answer it mirrored, but will take care of "protection."

Punishment as the latest weapon Washington cost him less than the classic military power, said Ryabkov. "The impression is that in the power textures in Washington concluded that from time to time it is easier and cheaper to use punishment than to make a classic projection of military force on anyone".

Russia, according to the diplomat, will not become like the US, however, and laze also will not. "In the arms race, we are not involved, to answer mirror on all similar steps we do not intend. But we have to find an antidote. On offensive weapons should be defensive. This will do," he said Ryabkov in his interview with the printed "Kommersant".

According to Ryabkov, in consequence of the actions of the United States "the market is transformed in the foreign policy instrument", where "increasingly used not permitted techniques, nothing joint with market interests and opinions of the economic efficiency". "All this is subordinated to purely geopolitical task of deterrence, and maybe drop powers or States that due to the distinctive features of their foreign policy course or something else is not satisfied with the United States. If resort to such methods, means, the Arsenal of foreign policy means not so rich," added Ryabkov.

Deputy depodesta convinced that a Treaty on the reduction of offensive arms, signed in 2010 between the United States and the Russian Federation , is strictly observed. In his opinion, the permeability of the subject of this agreement "very surprised". But to reach an agreement on MISSILE defence in the near future is unlikely.
