The final decision on how to respond to the new US anti-Russian sanctions will be made by Russian President Vladimir Putin . This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov, RBC correspondent reports.

“The principle of reciprocity in such matters has not been canceled. Once again I will say that everything will depend on the decision that the HEAD of state makes, ”he stressed, answering the question whether Moscow intends to respond to Washington on new restrictive measures.

The day before , US President Joe Biden imposed new sanctions against Russia. US banks are prohibited from buying bonds issued by the Central Bank of Russia, the Ministry of Finance and the National Wealth Fund (NWF) after June 14, 2021.
