Russian Foreign Ministry: Russia preparing retaliatory measures against US and Canadian sanctions – Reuters

As the diplomat pointed out, these measures will have a more targeted impact on Washington and Ottawa.“For our part, we are preparing response measures, creatively applying the accumulated experience for a more targeted impact on Washington and Ottawa, which sings along with it,” Zakharova said.The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that in a situation where the West, led by the United States, acts extremely aggressively, Russia’s retaliatory sanctions will be built on the basis of the principles of strict reciprocity and the inevitability of punishment.Recall that on February 24, the US Department of Commerce imposed sanctions on 66 Russian companies for supporting Russia’s military-industrial complex (MIC). The US Treasury has also imposed restrictions on a number of Russian banks, including financial institutions Uralsib, Zenit, Credit Bank of Moscow and MTS Bank. In turn, Canada imposed sanctions on 129 individuals and 63 organizations from Russia.
