The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Russia, Sergei Lavrov, stated the fact that anti-Russian sanctions hit the world economy very painfully, APA reports.
“Of course, it is not the situation itself that affects these relations, but those absolutely illegitimate, illegal sanctions, unprecedented sanctions that the West has announced against Russia,” the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“These restrictive measures hurt the global economy, including countries that are consumers of agricultural products, fertilizers and much more,” Sergey Lavrov stated.
Meanwhile, Germany is discussing new measures to tighten sanctions against Russia.
