The US is trying to dominate the whole world, but Russia will do everything to let the United States respect it. This was commented by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov imposed by Washington today anti-Russian sanctions because of the March incident in Salisbury. "But the arrogance of power, the absolute conviction of one's own exclusiveness, that the United States is a separate, standing above all community of God-blessed people, structures, politicians, whatever.

It now completely dominates. But we will prove by word and deed the opposite. In the end, we will force them to respect themselves and reckon with our opinion, "the diplomat stated in the program" 60 Minutes "on the TV channel" Russia 1 ". In his opinion, now people "live in captivity of illusions that Russia can somehow be broken, somehow turned into a ram's horn", but the only acceptable option for Moscow is the absolute respect for international law, mutual balance and consideration of each other's interests. "Do you really think that we can not cope with yet another or with another five waves of sanctions? Yes, we need to prepare for this. We are preparing, an economic bloc and a military bloc are being prepared for this, "Ryabkov noted.. He stressed that Russian diplomacy "does not give up positions". "It continues its struggle to strengthen Russia's position in the world in all directions: the Middle East, North-East Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe - we will look for opportunities for normal work and we will repulse those to whom this normal work is not needed and who sees our opponent in us and tries to suppress us, "the Foreign Ministry spokesman added.. Also, Ryabkov said that economic sanctions do not necessarily have to be countered by the same restrictive measures. In any case, the final decision will be made by the head of state. "Now it's up to us to showcase and discuss - it's to weaken our positions, because then the Americans will know how we will respond and will be prepared for this," he explained.. Last week, on Smolensk Square, it was reported that retaliatory measures should not damage Russia itself. In the diplomatic mission clarified that Moscow will not stop exporting rocket engines and aircraft titanium in the United States.
