Pushkov called the US sanctions against Russia by the beginning of the political war
The Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on information policy Alexei Pushkov said that the new sanctions against Russia, approved by the Senate of the United States, means a Declaration of political war.
“Together in supporting the new sanctions, the U.S. Senate showed that the consequences don’t bother him. It is a Declaration of political war. Losing the mind is a superpower,” wrote the MP in his Twitter account.
According to the Senator, USA, taking the new sanctions are against Russia and against Europe, because they are sure that they “get away with”.
Earlier the President of Russia Vladimir Putin at press conference following talks with President of Finland Sauli Niinistö said that Russia at some point will have to answer, if the bill (discussed in the United States. — RNS) on the new anti-sanctions will be adopted, because “it was impossible to tolerate some rudeness against our country.”
