EU sanctions against Russian intelligence chiefs risk security cooperation (video)
Russia said today that new European Union sanctions targeting Russian intelligence chiefs over its role in Ukraine risked ending all joint cooperation on security.
The European Union “has practically speaking put at risk international cooperation in the area of security”, the Russian foreign ministry said in an angry response.
The EU today announced it had broadened its list of Russian officials facing targeted sanctions to include FSB security service chief Alexander Bortnikov and Foreign Intelligence Service chief Mikhail Fradkov.
It also included Russia’s National Security Council head Nikolai Patrushev, who is a former head of the FSB.
“The additional sanctions list is a direct testimony that European Union countries have chosen a course towards fully rolling back cooperation with Russia in matters of international and regional security,” Moscow said.
It cited the worsening situation in Afghanistan, the Middle East and North Africa.
Russia called the fresh sanctions “irresponsible”, adding that the effect of the penalties “will be enthusiastically welcomed by international terrorism”.
