Russia Lashes Out at Latest Western Sanctions
July 31, 2014  

Russia is lashing out at new U.S. and European economic sanctions imposed to protest what the West sees as Moscow's intervention in Ukraine.

The Russian Foreign Ministry Wednesday called new restrictions targeting the Russian energy, defense, technology and finance sectors "destructive and short-sighted." It said Washington is behaving in a "pretentious, prosecutorial manner" that will lead to "further aggravation of U.S.-Russia relations."

The new sanctions, the strongest against Moscow since the Cold War, are aimed at further weakening a Russian economy already sliding toward recession. U.S. officials say the newest restrictions could affect 30 percent of Russia's banking sector, with other sanctions curbing exports and business with Russian companies.

The European Union said it also is targeting eight assitional individuals with sanctions, including three men it identified as close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The EU described one of those sanctioned, Arkady Rotenberg, as Putin's former judo sparring partner and owner of companies that won lucrative contracts at the Sochi Winter Olympics.

German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, along with economic analysts, said the sanctions will soon impact the Russian economy.

俄罗斯抨击美国和欧洲为了抗议莫斯科干预乌克兰局势而实行的新一轮经济制裁。

俄罗斯外交部星期三称针对俄罗斯能源、国防、科技和金融部门的限制具有“破坏性,并且目光短浅”。它还表示,华盛顿这种“自命不凡、检察官式的”行为将导致“美国和俄罗斯的关系进一步恶化”。

新一轮制裁是自从冷战以后对俄罗斯施加的最严厉的一次。其目的是进一步削弱俄罗斯原本已经走向衰退的经济。美国官员说,最新的制裁可能影响俄罗斯30%的银行业,而其他方面的制裁会遏制俄罗斯公司的出口和贸易。

欧盟表示,它的制裁目标包括8名个人,其中3人被认为与俄罗斯总统普京关系密切。欧盟介绍说,其中一名是普京前柔道陪练阿卡迪-罗登伯格,他旗下的各公司在索契冬季奥运会上赢得了利润丰厚的合约。

德国副总理加布里尔和经济分析人员都认为,这些制裁措施将很快阻碍俄罗斯经济的发展。
