Russia assessed US sanctions as useless and adds that it will respond to the measures, but didn’t specify how.
In today’s press release, Moscow says it will wait as long as it takes US to recognize the historical right to the Crimea peninsula, which this year was separated from Ukraine and annexed to Russia.
Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs today expressed regret that the United States and Canada are still unable to accept the results of the March referendum in the Crimea. They say that the new sanctions won’t get Russia to abandon the Crimea because it’s a “historic and integral part of Russia.”
Last night, the United States imposed economic boycott and issued an order prohibiting the export of goods, technology or services to the Crimea.
