MOSCOW, July 10. /TASS/. While Washington’s "sanction moves" should not be dismissed, new restriction threats have become routine for Moscow, which knows how to counter them, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov emphasized.
Russia will "keep pushing" Washington regarding the return of Russian diplomatic properties in the US, he noted.
TASS has compiled the main statements of the deputy foreign minister.
New restriction threats have become routine for Moscow: "There are what I would call sanction attempts brewing in Washington, and they should not be discounted, but essentially, new sanction threats have become commonplace for us. While this issue is important, it is not decisive. We have adapted to counter sanctions."
Hypothetical new 500% US tariffs against Russia’s trade partners would require analysis but would not significantly alter the situation: "With over 30,000 restrictive measures already against Russia, the hypothetical addition of new elements <...> would need additional analysis but would not fundamentally change the picture."
