“No one is safe, even the American allies, from sanctions,” - quotes the site of the Russian Foreign Ministry Lavrov’s interview with Russia 24 channel.

The minister also compared US sanctions with a club, "which is waved absolutely mindlessly."

He added that countries that use US dollars in international economic relations may become hostages to US geopolitical interests.

Earlier, Lavrov said that the allegedly killed leader of the Islamic State group * Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was to some extent a product of US policy.
