Russia warns of retaliation to further US sanctions

Russia will take responsive action if the US imposes new sanctions said Russia’s deputy foreign minister on Saturday.

“We will not be able to leave that without an answer,” said Sergei Ryabkov

The statement came in response to US congress readying a new sanctions bill that will target Russian weapons companies and investors in the country’s oil projects, reports Reuters.

Russia retaliated to previous sanctions through a range of actions, including restricting food imports to the west.
