Russia will respond to groundless US sanctions: Ryabkov
Tehran (KNA) - Russia has said that the latest round of US sanctions imposed against Moscow is "groundless" and will evoke a response.
On Tuesday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stressed that the sanctions introduced over alleged hacking and illegal oil products supply to North Korea were introduced under a "false pretense."
The latest US sanctions are based on "malicious insinuations" and a "hardheaded, narrow-minded and aggressive approach by the US," he added.
"The United States is seeking to push its anti-North Korean policy through the United Nations Security Council Committee, insisting on expanding its sanction lists. It won't work," he stressed.
