“Today Russia finds itself in a situation of unprecedented sanctions pressure.
It is unfair neither in form nor in essence, as it is based on lies and hypocrisy,” TASS quoted Pankin as saying during a video conference speech at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Financing for Development Forum.
He called for joining forces to build a more just economic world order.
Earlier, The Economist magazine reported that some US allies are refusing Washington's requests for sanctions against Russia.
