Russia not expecting ‘anything good’ from Biden administration – Russia Deputy Foreign Minister

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has said Moscow was not expecting “anything good” from US President-elect Joe Biden, accusing members of his future administration of “Russophobia”.

Ryabkov said in an interview with news agency Interfax that “We are definitely not expecting anything good. And it would be strange to expect good things from people, many of whom made their careers on Russophobia and throwing mud at my country,”

The interview was released days after the US accused Russia of a major cyber attack on government agencies.

On Tuesday, Biden promised to retaliate once he takes office on January 20 adding that the attack cannot go “unanswered”

Ryabkov said Moscow should move to a “total containment” approach in relations with the United States, retaining “selective dialogue” on subjects that are of interest to Russia.

The deputy foreign minister said that Russia would not make any “unilateral concessions” with Biden’s transition staff and would also not initiate any contacts with them, adding that if the US continued to approach Russia as a “strategic rival” then Moscow would “treat them in a similar way”.

Referring to fresh US sanctions imposed earlier this week on 45 Russian organisations over their military connections, Ryabkov said the outgoing administration was trying to “loudly slam the door”.

“We are going from bad to worse. This was very typical for the past four years and so far there is no feeling that this trend has outlived its usefulness,” Ryabkov said.
