The Russian Foreign Ministry has commented on the latest sanctions package.
The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that its introduction is illegal.
Maria Zakharova expressed this opinion during a briefing, RIA Novosti reports.
These measures [sanctions – editor’s note] are unlawful and illegal, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
As Zakharova emphasized, anti-Russian sanctions pose a threat primarily not to the country against which they are directed.
Restrictive measures pose a threat to global energy security, they affect the well-being of the world's farmers and threaten the stability of global economic relations.
