Zakharova commented on the EU decision on sanctions

RIA Novosti reports.

“This is generally beyond any logic.

As soon as the logic disappears, accordingly, we are dealing with a pre-played absurd story with an information campaign scenario.

But this is all a humiliation, first of all, of the European Union - the unification of countries with an ancient history, rich culture, economic achievements, achievements in the field of human rights, the very human rights to which the European Union has always paid true, real attention, without turning it into a circus what are they making him do now, ”Zakharova said on the First Channel.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the EU's decision to expand sanctions against Moscow.

The department noted that this is "disappointing."

The Foreign Ministry believes that "another opportunity has been missed for the European Union to rethink the course of artificial linkages, sanctions and pressure in relations with Russia, which has demonstrated complete failure over the past years."

The foreign ministers of the EU countries decided to impose new sanctions against Russia against persons who, according to Brussels, "are responsible for the conviction of Alexei Navalny."
