US Sanctions on Russia: Moscow says it reserves the right to respond to newly imposed sanctions
[]
Russia says it reserves the right to respond to new US-sanctions, imposed on Russian individuals and companies. Washington had added 21 individuals, and nine entities, to its anti-Russia sanctions list on Friday, over Crimea related issues. Russia called the sanctions "senseless", and said they would only bring financial losses to US businesses. Senior members of the Russian parliament also said the move is destructive to US-Russia relations. Tensions between the two countries may deepen, as Washington is expected to release a report next Monday, on Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential election.
