Russia Again Vows Retaliation If U.S. Does Not Lift Sanctions
-------------------------------------------------------------

Russia is ramping up its threats of retaliation if the United States
does not lift sanctions imposed by the Obama administration in December
over the alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election. This is
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Sergey Lavrov: "In reply to your question about the Russian real estate
in the United States, we are closely following the situation. We are
still hopeful that the U.S., as a proponent of the rule of law, will
finally respect their international obligations. If this is not the
case, if Washington decides not to solve this issue, we will have to
take retaliatory measures."
