It is noted that it includes those who are involved in escalating anti-Russian sanctions activity within the EU.

“The corresponding notes verbales of the Russian Foreign Ministry informing about this step were handed over to the heads of diplomatic missions of Germany, France and Sweden, and also sent to the EU Delegation in Moscow,” the Foreign Ministry's website says.

As specified, unfriendly actions from Western countries will continue to receive an adequate response.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry called the EU sanctions unacceptable because of the situation with Alexei Navalny.
