The US State Department presented a secret report about the anti-Russian sanctions to the Congress. It contains people and companies that the new restrictions can affect. The State Department reported that these include those organizations beyond Russia but cooperate with our military industry. The new document, as Washington thinks, will become a limiting factor for such companies.

That's how the Russian embassy in the US commented on the document.

 

Anatoly Antonov, Russian Ambassador to the US: "We're trying to explain that sanctions are a way to nowhere. We aren't scared of sanctions, and this isn't a slogan. I really think so. By the way, I'll remind you that I'm the only ambassador in the world, and I say it with pride, who's under sanctions. I'm under sanctions of the UN and Canada. So, I'd like to ask, do the people that introduce sanctions against Russia think that we can be intimidated and won't protect our position?"
