Russia says it will respond to planned sanctions by the United States over the case of opposition figure Alexei Navalny, depending on their content and nature.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Monday that the Kremlin’s response to the measures “can be anything.”
“We cannot gauge which factors will influence Washington’s mindset. Our policy is consistent, understandable, well-reasoned,” Ryabkov said.
“We will see what the bottomline is, in the end, and then on our part will evaluate what and how to accept and how to react,” he added.
