Putin Feels ’Sad’ About Not Being Included in US ’Kremlin Report’
Local Editor
Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the reports that the US administration released on Monday the list that includes 114 Russian politicians and 96 businessmen who may face new US sanctions in future.
Putin said he was "sad" that he hadn't been on the list, adding that he only heard of the document from his colleagues but didn't see it.
He further said that the report represents an unfriendly step by the US administration, saying that it harms Moscow-Washington relations.
Putin pointed out that that people behind the report are attacking own government, by pushing it toward confrontation with Moscow.
Despite that, Moscow will refrain from retaliatory measures and will act in accordance with the development of the situation, Putin added, saying that Russia is in favor of development of relations with the US.
