Presidential aide promises Moscow's "mirror" response to Australian sanctions

MOSCOW. June 20 (Interfax) - A sanctions list to be adopted by Russia will "mirror" the sanctions recently imposed by Australia on a number of Russian officials and companies, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said at a press briefing on Friday.

"It will be a "mirror" list, which will not be necessarily open," he said.

Russia's response to the Australian sanctions "will be as sensitive as Australia's list," he added.
