Ryabkov: Washington's statement on fresh sanctions "disgusting"

MOSCOW. April 28 (Interfax) - White House Spokesman Jay Carney's statement on the introduction of fresh sanctions against Russia has aroused revulsion in Moscow, a highly-placed Russian diplomat said.

"The White House spokesman's statement is disgusting. The text demonstrates the utter absence of understanding about what is going on in Ukraine. It is a distorted mirror of foreign policy, not a responsible approach to the situation," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Interfax.
