MOSCOW - 22 June 2017: Moscow is determined to respond to the new US sanctions, Tass news agency quoted Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov as saying on Wednesday.

"Of course, we are," he told reporters when asked if Russia was going to respond to the new sanctions imposed by the United States.

Earlier in the day, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin viewed the expanding of the US sanctions list as a regrettable move proving that "the sanctions policy, which is a far cry from being constructive, and, most importantly, from demonstrating political will aimed at resolving the problem that we have in Ukraine, continues to be a priority."
