Canada imposed sanctions against Vladimir Putin, Sergey Lavrov and other representatives of the Russian leadership at the end of February. In addition, sanctions were imposed against Russian companies, banks and individuals, including deputies. Sanctions were also announced by the United States, European states and some Asian countries.

The Foreign Ministry called the sanctions against Russia "outright robbery." Director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Birichevsky said that this "double-edged sanctions weapon" will affect all countries of the world. He also said that Russia is preparing retaliatory measures.

According to him, the authors of the restrictions do not understand that Russia is sufficiently strongly integrated into the global economy. At the same time, Russian enterprises are actively involved in production chains and it will be difficult to replace them, Birichevsky noted.
