Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Russia Again Vows Retaliation If U.S. Does Not Lift Sanctions

HeadlineJul 12, 2017

Russia is ramping up its threats of retaliation if the United States does not lift sanctions imposed by the Obama administration in December over the alleged Russian interference in the U.S. election. This is Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Sergey Lavrov: “In reply to your question about the Russian real estate in the United States, we are closely following the situation. We are still hopeful that the U.S., as a proponent of the rule of law, will finally respect their international obligations. If this is not the case, if Washington decides not to solve this issue, we will have to take retaliatory measures.”
