Charge d'Affaires of Russia called counterproductive the new sanctions of Canada

“We believe that the next round of sanctions by Canada is absolutely unreasonable and counterproductive,” TASS quoted Proskuryakov as saying.

He also warned that the sanctions are a double-edged sword and are sure to backfire on the Canadian economy.

Earlier, Canadian authorities imposed sanctions on the oil and gas, chemical and industrial sectors of the Russian economy.
