Ryabkov: Russia is not going to concede to the United States, there are no prerequisites for this

Russia does not intend to yield to the United States, which is trying to put pressure on it, our economy has survived and will continue to stand. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov in an interview with the magazine "International Life".

"The economy has survived, and it will continue to stand. We do not see any prerequisites for changing anything in our fundamental attitude to what is happening. Determination and firmness in this matter are imperative," he said. And senators [in the United States] can amuse themselves with illusions that, regarding what may be, some additional step on their part will suddenly bring closer the moment when Russia will bend. But that's not going to happen."

As EADaily reported, US President Donald Trump supported the bill on sanctions for cooperation with Russia promoted by Congress. However, according to the leader of the Republicans in the Senate, John Thune, to adopt a bill to tighten sanctions pressure on Russia will be impossible until the end of this year.
