Vladislav Surkov (Assitant to President of Russia): These sanctions make me proud. I take them as some sort of political Oscar from America...
Elena Mizulina ( MP of Russian Duma): ...Its all lies and hypocrisy.
(off-camera): do you still have contacts with your son? how is he doing?
Well, he works here, in Russia, a lot as well, so we do have an option to talk to each other.
Dmitry Rogozi (Deputy Prime Minister of Russia): There are particular stipulations in all contracts and agreements on industrial cooperation with the West for possible breech of contract obligations.
The contracts may be breeched in case of force-major events, i.e. war, natural calamities etc.
The current decisions of European Union and Washington have nothing to do with force-major.
That is why we will act solely on the basis of WTO norms and on contractual obligations of our partners,
and of course, we will be talking to "hotheads" and persuade them to start thinking of their own interests.
