Moscow has no plans to discuss with Washington introduction anti-punishment, as he considers them illegal, said Tuesday the Deputy head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov, noting that the Logic in the actions of the United States.
" We, of course, does not stimulate the discussion of sanctions up with US. We're not seeing the subject for discussion. Consider unilateral penalties extraterritorial order, illegal, contrary to international law. And agree on whatever basis on these issues makes no sense. We don't do that, " said Ryabkov, RIA " Novosti ". According to him, " any splash from the USA in this area (sanctions), whether their decisions with America or attempts to bring other members of the international brotherhood under the hand rankings established by Washington, will be interpreted in the capital of Russia " as a challenge " And strengthen the " self-righteous "." The hardness And consistency of our course are not subject to doubt. Punishment or the lack of them does not affect how We acted And will act in relations with Kiev that We offer what we believe is in the interests of stabilizing the situation in the South-East And run so necessary for Ukraine's domestic political process, " - said the diplomat. He believes that the introduction of new penalties the US May try to compensate for their foreign policy blunders, and among them in Ukraine." The logic in the actions of the U.S. administration, I do not see. Except, perhaps, the desire to make up for some of his failures in a number of areas, as well as among them with regard to Ukraine, " Ryabkov said, adding that Washington seeks to increase the pressure, as long as the situation in Ukraine has not acquired a different dynamics than that which has characterized it in recent months." But it is destructive logic, harmful And vicious. Citizens may be asked in order to interfere with the political process, interfere with the provision of the armistice. The other explanation that I can find, " said the diplomat. He drew attention to the fact that If we start from common sense, then, of course, no sanctions may not be space in the Arsenal of foreign funds in the United States." According to him, in the capital of the United States " fully closed on their own shoulders And act as their instincts tell them, " said Ryabkov. On the last working day of the week, the United States tightened the limits on access to the capital market for a number of credit institutions And organizations of the Russian Federation, punishment zastragivajut Sberbank, VTB And its subsidiaries Bank of Moscow, Gazprombank, Russian agricultural Bank, Vnesheconombank. Later, the official authorized state Department Marie Harf again expressed agreement first announced the U.S. position about the fact that If Russia will not completely disrupt the 12 points of the Minsk agreement, the punishment may be, And will be revised ".
