Washington is proving itself as an "unpredictable vis-a-vis" when making contradictory remarks on the links between the 'Kremlin List' and anti-Russian sanctions, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Unfortunately, we are dealing with a rather unpredictable vis-a-vis, there are a lot of contradictions and unpredictability in the steps," Peskov said. He recalled that while the US Treasury Department stresses that the document is not a sanctions list, later "official statements are made that this is the beginning of sanctions and then there are incompatible words and so on".
"Unfortunately, we are dealing with unpredictable partners, and certainly, amid this unpredictability we need to be concentrated and act in line with the understanding of what we want," the spokesman said, explaining that Russia needs to do what "meets its own interests."
In comments to the US media reports that the document’s text had been changed at the very last moment, Peskov said it was not a matter of Russia to guess about this, TASS reported.
He also recalled Russian President Vladimir Putin’s remark that this list was an "unfriendly and hostile act" towards Russia.
