Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov compared the United States of America to a cowboy who sees poorly after another package of restrictions imposed by the Joe Biden administration.

More than 40 individuals and more than 30 legal entities fell under the American restrictions, including enterprises of the military-industrial complex and the high-tech sector of Russia.

“The stubbornness of Washington, which continues to unwind the sanctions spiral, is no longer surprising.

The US authorities refuse to admit that unilateral illegitimate steps are not capable of achieving their stated goals.

On the contrary, they are hitting the interests of the United States itself, the prospects for restoring the global economy, ”Antonov said.

According to him, the new package of restrictions is chaotic, since high-tech companies and fashion houses, the commissioner for children's rights and an assistant to the president of Russia were on the same list.

“Contradictory to themselves, the Americans, on the one hand, declare the importance of cooperation in space, and on the other hand, impose sanctions against Roscosmos structures.

Unable to compete with advanced financial technologies, they are trying to ban their use.

The impression is that the administration, not knowing how else to draw attention to its limitations, is galloping around like a cowboy with not very good eyesight, and shoots without analyzing the targets, ”the diplomat stated.

He emphasized that such hostile steps would not affect the approaches and positions of Moscow, but would only lead to “increasing the freezing of bilateral dialogue”: “It will not be possible to isolate Russia with sanctions.

A clear example of this is the busy schedule of international meetings of Vladimir Putin in Samarkand at the summit of the SCO member states.”

Landau, enterprises that are part of the structures of Rosatom, Roskosmos and Rostec, as well as the Chechen fashion house Firdaws.

In addition, the US Department of Commerce tightened export controls on the Russian Federation and threatened to take action to support attempts to circumvent sanctions against Russia, including through the use of the NSPK and the MIR payment system outside the territory of the Russian Federation.

According to Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, the United States will not be able to harm the MIR national payment system.

“I think that most of the countries that have already done work and introduced the use of the MIR card in their country, they will not give up on this.

US efforts will be nullified, ”the senator said in a conversation with RT.

Ramzan Kadyrov, commenting on the sanctions, called on the United States "not to drag out the rubber", but to impose restrictions on all his children.

“Why pull the rubber?

Come on, turn on, Americans, all my children.

There are 14 of them, the youngest, the twins Hasan and Hussein, are five years old.

Add them to your list too.

You did not disdain horses and a groom when you imposed sanctions against them because of your connection with me, ”he wrote in his Telegram channel.

Roskosmos expressed regret over the decision of the American authorities.
