Peskov: Russia will take 'adequate measures' in response to US Treasury Department's decision to extend sanctions
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow will take “adequate measures” in response to the US Treasury Department’s announcement on Tuesday that it would extend sanctions against Russia, TASS reported.
"We regret that Washington continues this destructive line,” Pekov said. “We still disagree with this line and we believe that it very seriously harms our bilateral relations. Certainly, as this has been already in practice, the Russian side will take adequate measures.”
"We can only once again express regret and misunderstanding over this destructive persistence of our US colleagues," the Kremlin’s spokesman added.
Many in the US, however, have speculated that Donald Trump’s administration will lift sanctions on Russia once the billionaire magnate is sworn into office in January.
