Moscow, July 18 /Xinhua/ — Russia considers the unilateral sanctions imposed by the European Union to be illegal, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, commenting on the 18th package of EU sanctions.
“We have repeatedly said that we consider such unilateral restrictions to be illegal, and we oppose them,” TASS quotes him as saying.
As the Kremlin spokesman noted, the Russian leadership will analyze the new package of European sanctions in order to minimize its consequences. “So far, we see a fairly consistent anti-Russian line from Europe,” he added.
D. Peskov also emphasized that sanctions are a double-edged weapon that will also hit the initiators of the restrictions.
“Each new package adds a negative effect for the very countries that join it,” concluded the press secretary of the Russian president.
Recall that the European Union (EU) approved a new package of sanctions against Russia on Friday. It includes a reduction in the price ceiling for Russian oil sold to third countries by 15 percent of the market price. The package also includes measures to ensure that the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea cannot resume operation. –0–
