New U.S. sanctions will increase tensions - Russia

Russia’s Foreign Ministry on Friday said that new U.S. sanctions announced this month over a nerve agent attack in Britain would only create more tension in bilateral relations, the RIA news agency reported.

The United States is expected on Monday to impose new sanctions that could terminate some arms sales and financing to Russia, as well as deny the country credit and prohibit the export of security-sensitive goods and technology.
