THE Kremlin on Wednesday said the new U.S. and EU sanctions on Russia are tantamount to interference in the country’s internal affairs.
According to Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, all the accusations against Russia relate to opposition figure Alexey Navalny’s case, which he claims are absurd.
“This is nothing but interference in Russia’s domestic affairs,’’ he told reporters at a press conference.
“In general, we can only express our regret, as our opponents use methods that damage our bilateral relations,” Peskov said.
When asked why the West introduced targeted sanctions instead of restrictions against major businesses or state debt, the Kremlin spokesman said it was not up to him to “explain the motives.”
“We believe that all these decisions, both targeted and others, are absurd and absolutely groundless.
“The most important thing is, they have no effect and no sense,” Peskov continued. (ANI/Sputnik/NAN)
