The new sanctions package of the European Union does not fundamentally bring anything new to the relations between Moscow and Brussels.

According to APA's Moscow correspondent, this was stated in the statement of the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, about the decision of the EU to expand restrictive measures against Russia.

"The EU's ban on the broadcasting of four more Russian media outlets on its territory is an authoritarian measure that has become a common practice in Brussels. The European Union has essentially acknowledged the undermining of the world's food security due to its sanctions, considering the possibility of an exception for Russian exporters. The painful consequences of the anti-Russian policy for the EU, it will increase even without the "help" of the United States, Zakharova said in her written statement on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
