The Federation Council of the Russian Federation commented on the new US sanctions

Jabbarov underlined that it is unlikely sanctions will damage the Russian companies.

Sanctions imposed by the US against a number of Russian companies caused by Washington’s desire to “move” the Russian market of the defense industry.

This was stated by RIA Novosti, first Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on international Affairs Vladimir Jabbarov.

In his opinion, is unfair competition; however, the damage to the Russian companies, the sanctions will not be applied.

The state Department spokesman on Saturday said RIA Novosti that the United States has imposed sanctions against eight companies of the Russian Federation in connection with the American law on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction relating to Syria, Iran and North Korea.

“It’s not in Russian-American relations, Russia, simply put, want to move from this market (defense industry), to push back,” said the Senator.

Jabbarov underlined that it is unlikely sanctions will damage the Russian companies in respect of which they were entered.

“I do not think that we are so severely affected, we have almost no work with the American market,” he said.

According to the Deputy Chairman of the Committee, Russia should not think about the response and excited that the defence industry will continue to work in his former regime.
