In fulfilment of its obligations, Russia has joined the Belarusian sanctions against the European Union.
This statement was made by Maria Zakharova, an official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“According to allied obligations, the Belarusian response list of sanctions, which came into force today, is automatically applied in the Russian Federation”, – she said.
The Foreign Ministry specified that the EU anti-Belarusian sanctions are an open and unacceptable pressure on the official Minsk, which is trying to resolve the situation in the republic against the background of a coup attempt.
