Antonov: New US sanctions against Russia are mindless

Washington, SANA- The U.S. sanctions imposed against Russia are mindless and will not lead to Moscow abandoning its independent policy, the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said commenting on the restrictions by Washington.

Does anyone really believe that such measures will make our country give up its independent course, divert from the chosen path towards a multipolar world based on the principle of indivisible security, international law and the UN Charter?” TASS news agency quoted Antonov as commenting on the economic and personal sanctions against Russia and its citizens.

Antonov said that Washington administration fails to understand that “new supplies of weapons, like all the previous ones, only prolong the conflict, leading to continued bloodshed and in no way helping bring peace any closer.

He asserted that Russian army keeps making strong progress in completing the tasks set before it to defend the Fatherland, and is supported by the entire country, adding that Washington will not succeed with its allies by stifling Russia with sanctions.
