Russia's EU Mission Says 'Unfriendly Actions' on Sanctions Won't Go Unanswered
Russia's Permanent Mission to the EU said Moscow views the bloc's sanctions as illegitimate and warned that further measures will be met with a response.
Russia's Permanent Mission to the European Union said that "unfriendly actions" by the bloc will not go unanswered, in a commentary addressing the EU's sanctions against Moscow, according to a report from TASS.
The commentary stated that Moscow views the EU's restrictive measures against Russia as illegitimate and unfounded.
Warning of a Response
The statement did not specify what form a Russian response might take, nor did it reference a particular new round of EU sanctions that may have prompted the commentary.
The report does not include a response from EU officials to the Russian mission's characterization of the sanctions.
The exchange reflects continued tension between Russia and the European Union over sanctions imposed in connection with the war in Ukraine.
