US launches new sanctions against Russia

(ANSA) - Moscow, April 29 - Russia on Monday said new United States sanctions would not come without a response.
    The White House announced "new targeted sanctions" against various Russian people and companies and restrictions against certain US exports to Russia in retaliation for Russia's involvement in the crisis in Ukraine. Those targeted include seven Russian government functionaries, among them two of President Vladimir Putin's advisors. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called the move "repugnant" and accused the US of losing touch with reality.
