Leonid Slutsky: “There were no real grounds for sanctions for Russia’s interference in the American elections”


“The new initiative of senators from both parties virtually duplicates the bill, called” sanctions from hell “and introduced before the mid-term elections to the US Congress. On Capitol Hill, a systematic line is being drawn to reinforce measures of pressure on Russia. The reasons are commonplace – American politicians are trying to ensure the US competitive advantages in world markets. Only the methods used are dirty and cynical, which they try to cover up with the mythical “Russian threat.” There are no real grounds for sanctions for intervening Russia stvo in American elections has not been and is not. It’s all fantasy.

So far, of course, it is too early to talk about any response measures. I can only say that it is not the first year that Russia has been confronted with illegal restrictions of the West. We have all the necessary tools to counter them, including at the legislative level. “
