Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov criticized the Trump administration's inconsistent statements and pledged Russia's resilience against potential new sanctions from Washington, as reported by Russian news agencies.
President Donald Trump announced consideration of further sanctions on Moscow, posing a fresh challenge for the Kremlin.
