Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation: Western sanctions are illegitimate and there will be no negotiations on their cancellation
31
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia believes that the sanctions imposed against it are illegitimate, and will not negotiate on their repeal.
“Those who think that US sanctions are a temporary phenomenon will blow deeply, a new breeze will blow, and all this will disappear. Nothing like this. We do not recognize the legitimacy of sanctions; we will not enter into negotiations on criteria for their cancellation. Strictly speaking, there are no such offers, ”RIA quotes him. "News".
Ryabkov noted that officials in Washington state that "sanctions will be lifted when we see what we want to see."
“But the question of the desires of individuals of such a rank is complex and it’s not for me to judge him, but one can easily assume that in principle there will be no quick and easy way,” he noted.
According to him, one should not count on the lobbying influence of businessmen who have interests in the Russian Federation.
“The observation of recent months and the conclusions we draw from it, in principle, the degree of controllability of even the largest companies, the degree of their dependence or readiness to follow the recommendations of the“ friendly advice ”coming from government structures, are much higher than what could be expected. And this is in a country that has always declared and saw the basis of its economic power in the market, regardless of entrepreneurship, ”he said.
