Sergei Lavrov pointed out that the law on sanctions against Russia adopted in the United States became the next link in a chain of steps that were unfriendly and dangerous for international stability and dealt a powerful blow to the prospects for bilateral cooperation.
“Naturally, such actions, including the illegal retention of our diplomatic property since December last year, could not go unanswered. It will continue to be so. At the same time, we are ready to normalize the dialogue if Washington abandons the confrontational line,” the statement says.
Other current topics on the international agenda were touched upon, including the internal conflict in Ukraine.
