MOSCOW, September 21 (RIA Novosti) - The latest economic sanctions against Russia, imposed by the West, look cynical due to the fact that the Minsk agreements on Ukraine crisis have led to a ceasefire, the Head of Russia's Presidential Administration told the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper in an interview released Sunday.
"Of course, they [economic sanctions] do not make us happy and they do damage [us], but it is clear that the sanctions harm our partners, meaning those, who declare them, as well, and the latest series of the so-called sectoral sanctions, seems especially cynical, as for me," Ivanov said.
The official added that the new sanctions were introduced when a ceasefire agreement was finally reached, bringing a hope for peace in Ukraine.
