In the case of the introduction of the next punishment against Russia in the energy sector or the banking sector Moscow will be forced to respond asymmetrically, announced by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. According to his statement, it is, for example, banning flights over the territory of the Russian Federation. With all of this, the Prime Minister stated that "punishment is constantly double-edged history, resulting in restrictions affect those who first introduces them. "We understand that punishment first financial, and later the answer is political, and political things are always asymmetric. And this is terrible restrictions of supply: probable security breach around the world. We hope that our Western partners do not wish and crazy among those people who make decisions," Medvedev said in an interview printed in "Vedomosti" on the occasion of the 15th anniversary edition. He recalled that the punishment in respect of a number of States have introduced before, both in the UN and individual countries. "Usually, any good they did not. The duration was different, but it's not a large issue," said the Prime Minister. Talking about imposing fresh sanctions against the Russian Federation, the Prime Minister assured that, "if there will be penalties associated with energy, further restrictions to our banking sector, we have to respond asymmetrically". The chief Minister said that some of these decisions have already voiced at the meeting of the government: "For example, limitations in the transport sector. We believe that we have good relations with our partners, in consequence, the sky over the Russian Federation is open to migration. But if we limit, we have to answer." According to him, if Western carriers will fly outside the airspace of the Russian Federation, this may lead to the bankruptcy of many airlines, which teeter on the brink of survival. "But this is a bad story. Just need to get our partners at some point realized it. Especially that punishment certainly can't help to establish peace in Ukraine. They beat past, and understands unconditional most politicians. There is simply inertia, and, alas, the desire to use force in international relations", - quote premiere of "Vedomosti". Medvedev also said that Russia could retaliate before, but the authorities was the position not to respond to the actions of the West. According to him, the decision to embargo food was taken after consultation and can even be adjusted in the interests of domestic firms: "we Never started it. We have too long endured. I wanted to respond earlier, but was the position of the President - not to respond to these actions. But before it took several waves of punishment, had to make a decision. What is important: it is a political decision supports absolute majority of the population of our country". The Prime Minister told that the decision about the response was not made suddenly, it was preceded by consultations with experts in the field of foreign trade and economy. Speaking about the damage to Russian business and defense of the interests of domestic firms, Medvedev said that "the business measures is force majeure", but more gently it was impossible. According to him, it was possible to prevent the supply in the Russian Federation all already paid for the goods, and they would go to the end of the year, but this was not good. "We consulted, and we later confessed: we never paid deliveries in advance. What's the point? We formed home connection, and we do not use letters of credit or advance payment. We pay after the fact, especially when it comes to perishable products," - said Medvedev. Among other things, he informed about the position of Russian farmers who embraced the response of the Russian Federation. "All farmers after the meeting in Kursk came to me with the words: "Finally! We so requested". While this small farms, and very large manufacturers Association of milk, meat, those who are engaged in grain, fruits. The governors say the same: "don't cancel anything, otherwise we will not be able to create a modern Russian agriculture," said Medvedev. He added that now the sales network, working with foreigners, hack conventional scheme and cooperate with Russian manufacturers. With all this, the Prime Minister acknowledged that, although the decision to implement an embargo on the supply in the Russian Federation food painstaking preparing, just to be considered failed. "Why, we all discussed this in advance. But when such solutions are prepared, it is impossible to consider all, because I had to make another order, to lift the ban with lactose free milk and fry. Not flatly that some adjustment will be: we should not spoil our residents is the main and 1st judgment. And 2nd - we should try to use this situation, which was formed not according to our will, in the interests of the nation and our economy," he concluded.
