Russia argues that the next package of Canadian sanctions against Russia will be examined and a response to this “unacceptable behavior” will be given.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told to the ITAR-TASS.
“We are outraged by the fact that, in particular, the Canadian government pursues so defiant and demonstrative line of pressure on the Russian Federation. Lack of independence of this line, its opportunistic and its purely geopolitical character, not related to the objectives of strengthening of our relations, is beyond doubt, ” the diplomat said.
“We will study, of course, another package of Canadian sanctions. These unacceptable actions will not be left unattended,”Ryabkov said.
Ryabkov also did not fail to note that the government of Canada, by announcing sanctions against the Russian Federation, “are trying to create a background for a visit of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.”
Canada’s sanctions list also includes Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant, Kalinin Machine-Building Plant, Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design, Dolgoprudnenskoye Scientific-Production Plant, Marine Scientific Research Institute of Radio Electronics “Altair.”
