Antonov: US sanctions will not force Moscow to change its foreign policy

Moscow (ST): Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that Western sanctions against his country will hit global markets and affect the well-being of Americans, but will not force Moscow to change its foreign policy.

Ambassador Antonov added, according to what was reported by (Russia Today): “There is no doubt that the sanctions imposed on us will harm global financial and energy markets and will not exclude the United States, where ordinary citizens will feel all the consequences of high prices,” stressing that sanctions against Russia will not solve anything.

Yesterday, US President Joe Biden announced the imposition of a first package of sanctions on Russia and vowed to impose more, revealing that his country would send more troops and equipment to the Baltic states.

In turn, the Russian Embassy in Britain expressed its rejection of the sanctions imposed by the British government against Moscow, which were announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and described them as illegal.
