Russia says US sanctions will affect relations

US sanctions on Russia's state arms exporter contradict international law and will affect relations with Washington, Interfax news agency quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying on Friday. "These new sanctions were introduced without any international legal foundation whatsoever," Lavrov said. "We will take this into account in our affairs, in our relations with the United States."
