RT: Kremlin: New sanctions underline Obama admin’s ‘unpredictable & aggressive’ foreign policy

“In our point of view such actions of the US current administration are a manifestation of an unpredictable and even aggressive foreign policy,” Peskov told the journalists.
"We regret the fact that this decision was taken by the US administration and President Obama personally," he said.
"As it said before, we consider this decision and these sanctions unjustified and illegal under international law," the presidential spokesman added.
