Russia lashes out at US over new sanctions

MOSCOW – Russia has lashed out against United States over fresh sactions.

Russia on Friday called a new wave of US sanctions misguided, saying Washington’s habit of using sanctions against Moscow risked undermining global stability and was part of a dangerous game.

The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the Chinese military on Thursday for buying fighter jets and missile systems from Russia, in breach of a sweeping US sanctions law punishing Moscow for meddling in the 2016 US election, something Russia denies.

The administration also blacklisted an additional 33 people and entities associated with the Russian military and intelligence.
