“If we talk about specific people against whom sanctions, or rather restrictions, have been imposed, then this is actually a duplication of those restrictions that are established in relation to these people by Russian laws,” Peskov said.
At the same time, he noted that "any such restrictions are absolutely unacceptable, because they significantly harm the already deplorable relations with the United States and the EU."
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said that the new US and EU sanctions against Russia due to the situation with Alexei Navalny are an attempt to divert attention from their own problems.
On March 2, the EU introduced new sanctions against Russia.
In particular, they touched on the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service Alexander Kalashnikov and the head of the National Guard Viktor Zolotov.
On the same day, the United States also announced new sanctions against Moscow.
