Lavrov: our response to US’s steps against Russian media to be adequate

Moscow’s response to Washington’s steps against Russian mass media outlets will be adequate, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"If we say tit-for-tat (measures), this means adequate," Lavrov told reporters, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier said that Moscow’s response would be quick and symmetrical.

 "One needs to summon up patience for a short period of time," TASS cited the minister as saying.
