US sanctions will meet strong response from us, says RussiaRussia said on Wednesday that new US sanctions will meet a “strong response” after US President Joe Biden announced fresh penalties against Moscow for “beginning” an invasion of Ukraine, the Agence France Presse (AFP) reported. “There should be no doubt — sanctions will meet a strong response, not necessarily symmetrical, but well-calibrated and sensitive for the American side,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. The ministry said that Washington had slapped a new round of sanctions in order to “change Russia’s course.”“Russia has proved that, with all the sanctions costs, it is capable of minimizing the damage. And even more so, sanctions pressure cannot affect our determination to firmly defend our interests,” the statement said.
