Moscow considered the US decision to impose sanctions on Turkey because of its acquisition of the Russian-made S-400 defense system, as new evidence of Washington’s inability to compete fairly at the international level.

Commenting on the new US sanctions, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a press briefing today, Wednesday, "This shows once again Washington's inability to endure competition by playing according to the laws, and it needs to take additional steps to gain competitive advantages," Although these steps are outside the scope of the law, including unilateral sanctions and against the defense industry. "

The US State Department announced the imposition of sanctions against the Turkish Defense Industries Administration (SSB) in accordance with Article 231 of the "Combating America's Adversaries Law" (CAATSA) for its purchase of Russian "S-400" air defense systems.
