OREANDA-NEWS Any unfriendly steps by Europe, including the latest visa restrictions, will be met with a worthy response, but it will not necessarily be mirrored, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky said when asked by RIA Novosti about the latest decisions of the European Commission.

"Absolutely (in response to the question of whether there will be retaliatory measures - ed.). Any unfriendly steps will be met and will receive a worthy response. It's not necessarily mirrored. Therefore, we are calmly analyzing how these measures will work in practice. And depending on the depth of the ongoing visa madness, we will react and build our line," Lyubinsky said.
