The situation in the Ukraine conflict remains tense. Western countries are threatening sanctions. Russia’s ambassador in Sweden thinks very little of it.
Stockholm/Moscow – Russia’s ambassador to Sweden caused outrage with an interview. Viktor Tatarintsev told the Aftonbladet newspaper in the face of the threat of sanctions from Western countries: “Excuse my language, but we don’t give a shit about all your sanctions.” Russia is already enduring numerous sanctions, which “have a positive effect on our economy and agriculture to a certain extent,” said Tatarantsev .
“New sanctions are nothing positive, but they are also not as bad as the West claims,” said the Russian ambassador to Sweden.
