Russia will give the USA an adequate and decisive response to the imposed confrontation, but remains ready for equal dialogue. This warning was given to the American authorities by the Russian ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Antonov, quoted by TASS.
Speaking on Wednesday at a Russia Day gala reception at the embassy, he recalled that earlier that day the US government had implemented another large-scale restriction against Moscow.
„The US administration congratulated the Russian people on the announcement of the next package of sanctions. We will not impose ourselves as partners. Russia is open to honest and equal dialogue if and when the Americans are ready for it. Nevertheless, we will give an adequate and decisive response to the confrontation imposed on us”, the diplomat said.
