‘Moscow will oppose any western sanction against Bangladesh’

Russian Ambassador to Dhaka Alexander V. Mantitsky has said that Russia will oppose any kind of sanction of western countries against  Bangladesh.

The Russian ambassador came up with the remark at a programme organised by Swadhinata Sangbadik Forum at the National Press Club on Thursday (November 7).

There are about 15,000 sanctions against Russia, we don’t fear of those. Russia will oppose any kind of US and other western countries’ sanctions against Bangladesh, he said.

“We only recognise the sanctions imposed by the UN security council or UN organisations”,  he said.
