Moscow will respond to new EU sanctions, lenta.ru reported referring to Russian MFA.

The Russian side will not leave this unfriendly action by the European Union unanswered,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

According to the source, the EU's claim that Russia 'broke international law' and used unjustified force does not correspond with reality at all," the ministry said adding that "the excuse for placing our fellow countrymen on the European Union's illegitimate sanctions lists amazes with its hypocrisy and cynicism," it added, saying the individuals targeted were simply doing their jobs.
