Lavrov : New US sanctions harm ties with Washington


Russia’s foreign minister says new sanctions imposed by the United States will lead to further deteriorating relations between the two countries. A Russian Foreign Ministry statement says Sergei Lavrov conveyed the message in a phone call to his US counterpart Rex Tillerson. Lavrov said the punitive measures put the entire sphere of Russian-American relations at serious risk. Earlier this week Washington announced fresh sanctions on 38 Russian individuals and firms over alleged Russian activities in Ukraine.
