BREAKING NEWS - Russia's Answer To New US Sanctions: Moscow Ready To Respond To Any Attack

Russia is apparently ready to respond adequately to every hostile attack, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday in reaction to the new US sanctions list.

     "We have repeatedly warned that the use of sanctions is a double-edged practice and will strike back at the USA. However, the American side, it seems, continues to blindly believe in the effectiveness of such methods taken from the arsenal of the past, and does not want to admit the obvious: residents of Crimea voted for unification with Russia in a democratic way and in full accordance with the international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and Russia respects and accepts this choice," the statement says.
      "One may like or dislike this decision, but we are talking about the reality that must be reckoned with. There should be no doubts: we will respond adequately to every hostile attack," the statement of Russian Foreign Ministry defines.
