Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that new US sanctions on Russia will damage ties between the two countries.
Putin said that “it will of course complicate the Russian‑American relationship,”.
The Russian leader said it was too early to speak about a possible response.
The US Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve sanctions against Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election.
The bill, which passed, targets Russian individuals accused of corruption and key sectors of the Russian economy.
Putin said that Russia would be forced to make changes because of the sanctions, but they wouldn’t lead to a “collapse.”
