ROSTOV-ON-DON (Sputnik) — Moscow’s decision on whether to extend restrictive measures introduced in response to anti-Russia sanctions will depend on the West’s actions, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Friday.
"Our actions will depend on the actions of our partners. And judging by their statements, they still do not want and do not plan to return to the [Russian] market, and we are not going to beg them,” Medvedev said at Russia’s first national food safety forum.
The minister noted that Russia's restrictive measures were introduced for one year, and are set to expire in August.
