“Of course, any sanctions do not cause us any surprise, but the interference with the American elections is already too much, they say, it’s a shame for the democrats in the United States to lose, so let the Russians answer for that. However, today's Russia is trying to move away from Western financial topics as much as possible, ”said Balbec.
The deputy stressed that the US sanctions on foreign debt are unlikely to become a "universal tragedy."
“But what concerns alleged interference in the American elections, no matter how it emerged a few years later, in the course of the investigation, they came to themselves,” he concluded.
Earlier, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress approved an amendment to the draft defense budget for the 2020 fiscal year, including the introduction of sanctions against the national debt of Russia.
