MOSCOW, June 10 (HS/RIA Novosti) - Brussels, expanding sanctions against Russia, will not be able to influence its sovereign policy, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

Apparently, Brussels does not want to understand in any way that they have not achieved their goals, namely to influence our sovereign policy, and they will not achieve them. But since the European bureaucrats are no longer able to stop the flywheel of sanctions, and most importantly, they can no longer do anything else, it remains only to threaten us with new restrictions, Zakharova said during a briefing.

Russia will take tough steps in response to another EU sanctions package, the spokeswoman added.
