Russia will respond to new European Union sanctions, its Foreign Ministry has said.
The Foreign Ministry said, the Russian side will not leave this unfriendly action unanswered.
The EU on Friday added eight more Russians to its sanctions list over a stand-off between Russia and Ukraine in the Azov Sea.
The EU imposed travel bans and asset freezes on Russian officials.
In the Azov Sea incident, the Russian navy captured 24 Ukrainian sailors and their vessels in the Kerch Strait near Crimea.
The Russian foreign ministry said, the EU’s claim does not correspond with reality at all, adding, Russia did not break international law nor used unjustified force.
