Western sanctions on Russia are not lawful - Lavrov

MOSCOW. March 20 (Interfax) - The sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union and the United States do not have international legal grounds, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"Unilateral sanctions have never done any good. They are not legal. And they do not have international legal grounds," Lavrov said at a State Duma sitting on Thursday.
