Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the State Duma, called for mirror measures against the US on Wednesday, April 11. He agreed with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who in his report on the work of the government to parliamentarians noted the increasing sanctions pressure of the West on Russia. "Pressure on our country has always existed. It existed during the periods of the Russian Empire, and in the Soviet period, and even in the 90s. But it is exactly today, when our country began to develop more actively when it began to form real competition, this pressure has become blatant and aggressive, "Volodin stressed.. In his opinion, Russia tolerated this attitude enough.

"It's time to respond to this boorish behavior on the part of the US. The US's undisguised lobbying of its interests. To create obstacles for the work of Russian business, "- said the speaker.

He called Medvedev as head of government, as well as members of the lower house of parliament to think about the steps to be taken. In particular, he suggested taking mirror measures with respect to American products supplied to Russia. According to Volodin, we have such opportunities. "We will do exactly what they are doing towards our producers," RIA Novosti quoted Volodin as saying.. The US introduced another anti-Russian sanctions on April 6. Measures have affected a number of large businessmen from the Russian Federation and the business under its control.
