The Kremlin called the "red lines" in relation to the West for Russia

“As for the red lines, they are obvious.

First of all, these are our national interests, the interests of our external security, the interests of our internal security to prevent interference by someone from the outside, be it our elections or other internal political processes ... ", RIA Novosti quotes a Kremlin spokesman.

In addition, according to him, this is the prevention of offensive conversations with the country and the infringement of its economic interests.

On April 21, Russian leader Vladimir Putin delivered his annual address to the Federal Assembly.

Speaking about the international agenda, he called attempts to "hook" Russia a new sport and stressed that the response to potential opponents would be "asymmetric, fast and tough."

At the same time, he noted the "extremely restrained" behavior of Moscow in the current situation and the desire to have good relations with all participants in international communication.
