Commenting on the new US sanctions, Ryabkov said: “Of course, we understand that there is nothing left in the US foreign policy arsenal except sanctions, threats and power tricks. Our approach to the US will be based on this reality. The authors of all the new sanctions cannot satisfy their geopolitical ambitions, they are living in illusory dreams that they can pull our country off the path we have chosen. We are not interested in them.”

Washington continues to “unthinkingly cling to anti-Russian measures,” but Moscow is used to this, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

Mr. Ryabkov emphasized that Russian entities and individuals were put on the US sanctions list eight times in the past two months of August and September.
