Moscow to retaliate against possible extension of EU sanctions - source

MOSCOW. June 10 (Interfax ) - Russia is opposed to the extension of EU sanctions and will hardly leave them unanswered, a diplomat told Interfax on Wednesday.

"We are against a new twist of the sanctions spiral, this is impressible, and our reaction is politically sharp and founded. We will deal with the future decisions of the EU summit from realistic and principled positions," he said.

"We will consider the technicalities [of our response] later. But we always reciprocate sanctions. We will not turn the other cheek," he underlined.
