PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th January, 2022) Threats of new US sanctions against Russia are absurd, but since the US Congress has made such decisions more than once, Moscow has no choice but to respond in an adequate manner, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.

"Speaking about these threats, sanctions: they are so arrogant, absurd, in my opinion, this is understandable for any person.
