Lavrov: Further Sanctions Against Russia Will Deepen Ukrainian Crisis

2014/09/16

MOSCOW, September 17 (RIA Novosti) – Continuing sanction pressure on Russia will only deteriorate the Ukrainian crisis, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.


“It is obvious that the continuation of sanction pressure on Russia will not help resolve the internal crisis in Ukraine but will rather deepen the confrontation and complicate dialogue,” Lavrov said in an interview with El Pais newspaper published on Wednesday.


The minister stressed that Russia reserves the right to take measures to protect its legitimate interests, including in the sphere of national security.
