Russian embassy calls Australian sanctions unfriendly step

The Russian Embassy in Australia called the Australian sanctions against four companies and individuals from Russia an unfriendly step that will not go without consequences.

Interfax informs about this with reference to the press attaché of the diplomatic mission Ilya Roschenkov.

“We regard this as an unfriendly step, which, of course, will not remain without consequences”, – he said.

Earlier, Australia imposed sanctions on four companies and one individual from Russia in connection with the construction of the Crimean bridge.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
