The Russian Embassy responded to new British sanctions

Britain's attempts to speak to Russia in the language of sanctions and threats are doomed to failure. This is how the Russian Embassy commented on the new anti-Russian restrictions in London, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier, the British Foreign Office announced the introduction of sanctions against 26 Russian individuals and organizations.

“Another portion of illegal anti-Russian restrictions against banks, individuals and merchant ships only confirms that London has reached a sanctions impasse,” the statement said.

The diplomatic mission emphasized that each new British sanctions list, designed to demonstrate the determination of the kingdom’s authorities, in fact only shows the meaninglessness and ineffectiveness of their policies. Diplomats noted that Moscow will not change its course under pressure from London and will continue to defend national interests.
