The call of the UK House of Commons Defense Committee to promote the expansion of the EU sanctions against Russia is absolute impudence and meanness, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page.
"The Defense Committee of the British Parliament has called for promoting the expansion of the EU sanctions against Russia by including in the corresponding list more Russian government officials," she wrote.
"This is said in a report, which focuses on the UK security. The document contains a call on the UK government to promote the renewal of the EU sanctions against Russia and "to consider extending travel bans to a larger portion of the Russian leadership," TASS cited Zakharova as saying.
"You are exiting the EU, aren’t you?!. And you know the negative impact of the sanctions policy on EU, don’t you?! And you still push the Europeans to the precipice. It’s absolute impudence and meanness," she concluded.
