Russia Views New US Sanctions Illegal International Economic Takeover

Vladimir Putin

The sanctions imposed by the US against Russia are not related to the situation in Syria, but are similar to "international economic raiding," Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"We are convinced… that there are a number of sanctions and an undisguised attempt to engage in unfair competition, hiding behind some other considerations, attempts to squeeze out competitors, in this case, Russian companies, from international markets. Of course, this cannot have any relation and cannot be accepted in any way by considerations related to the situation in Syria, or any other country in the world. There is nothing like this, I would say, international economic raiding," Peskov told reporters.

According to Peskov, Russian authorities are continuing to work to ensure the stability of the economic situation in connection with the imposition of US sanctions.
