Moscow, June 18 /Xin Hua/ — Russia will take effective tough countermeasures in response to the anti-Russian sanctions adopted by the European Union on June 15. This was stated on Thursday by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

“They do not notice how ineffective and, it seems to me, self-incriminating all these measures of sanction pressure are for them. For some reason, they do not understand that they are harming themselves, first and foremost, and the world, because all the talks about caring for the fate of the world, food, and energy security fall apart against these very sanctions, which are now being imposed by them not only against Russians, Russia, and Russian companies, but also against representatives of other countries,” noted M. Zagarova.

As the diplomat pointed out, the illegal EU restrictions continue to “expand or deepen, or come up with more.” –0–
