Any unilateral US sanctions illegitimate, could complicate bilateral ties, says Russia

AVA- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with Dozhd TV channel on Wednesday that Moscow could not predict what new sanctions the US planned to slap on Russia, but was sure that any restrictions would harm bilateral relations, Russia’s TASS news agency reported.
"It’s difficult to say about the nature of these sanctions," Peskov said. "Will they further complicate the situation with Russian-US relations? The answer is unequivocal: certainly, they will."
Relations between the two countries have hit new lows, with American officials planning to impose fresh sanctions against Moscow over the poisoning of former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal in Britain.
Peskov said the Kremlin did not recognize any US’s “unilateral restrictions,” saying it considered them “illegitimate.”
Washington has already imposed sanctions on Moscow over what it calls the attempted assassination of Skripal.
Back on March 4, Skripal, and his daughter, Yulia, fell ill in the British city of Salisbury. They were hospitalized and diagnosed with exposure to Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent.
Britain blamed Russia but never offered solid evidence.
