In an interview with BBC, Russia’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrei Kelin, said Russia will retaliate against sanctions imposed on Russia under the so-called Magnitsky Act. The video of the interview is posted on the Russian embassy website, https://www.rusemb.org.uk/video/387
“Believe me, as for Magnitsky we will find the way to punish those who are making this type of sanctions. Because sanctions are illegal. There is only one body who can impose sanctions, and this is the United Nations,” Kelin told the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday, July 19, recalling that the U.K. is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, TASS reported yesterday.
