Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged his government to come up with countermeasures to Western sanctions imposed against Russia over the Ukrainian conflict.
Putin stressed that Moscows response should be cautious.
Obviously we need to do it cautiously in order to support domestic manufacturers, but not hurt consumers, he said on Tuesday.
The president expects the government to present a response to the sanctions as soon as possible.
Putin said that the political tools of pressure being used against the Russian economy are unacceptable, stressing that they go against international rules and norms.
Putins comments come on the same day Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that Moscow will consider possible responses to EU sanctions against Russian airlines.
On Tuesday, Vedomosti daily reported Russia was considering limiting, or even completely blocking European flights to Asia that cross Siberia, in response to EU sanctions that caused Aeroflot subsidiary, Dobrolet, to suspend flights on Monday.

“But the muslim brotherhood was not behind the protests that ousted Morsi. They only took advantage of the protests and hijacked the revolution.”
uhhhhh.....
You might be able to sell that over at DailyKos or DU, but not on FR.
What you are insinuating is not fact, it's innuendo and conspiracy theory for fools and morons. FReepers are not fools and they are not going to fall for your game of moral equivalence. You want to defend your idol Putin by attacking the USA, but it won't work. Russia is evil and the USA is not. We are still the greatest nation in the world despite the imbecile Obama. The USA has not done anything like what the terrorist Putin has done. We are not responsible for Egypt. We bombed Libya in accordance with international law and we destroyed the evil terrorist regime of the socialist mass murderer Kadaffy who killed dozens and scores of innocent Americans. He got what he deserved and so will Putin.
“We are not responsible for Egypt. We bombed Libya in accordance with international law \”
Hey all, check out the Obamabot lib!!!!
No I am a pro-American conservative, and you are an anti-American supporter of terrorist murderers like Kadaffy and Putin.
Putin is the one who laughably referred to international law. We did not commit any war crime against Libya. We destroyed a terrorist regime. Your Russian lies are garbage. You should kill yourself.
Sure you are, kid. Sure you are...
Sorry, but you betrayed yourself as an Obamabot.
Don’t feel bad, they all do, eventually. It’s the big ego thingy.
Egypt is responsible for their own screwed up country. It’s not our job to solve their problems. Morsi’s short reign was only a phase in an ongoing revolution. Al-Sisi is in charge now and is killing islamists. General Hifter is killing islamists in Libya. Good. We didn’t break any international law when we invaded Irak either, we enforced UN resolution 1441. Now Sunni and Shiites are killing each other in Iraq. Good, that’s how I like it. Everything we did was right. Putin is the violator of international law, not the USA.
You are the Obamabot because you are glad Obama beat McCain. You know McCain would stand up against Russia and Obama won’t, so that’s why you love Obama. You are glad Obama beat Romney because Romney said Russia was our number one rival in the world.
I am against Obama because I love America.
You are for Obama because you hate America.
OMG!! That’s funny!!!
Stop it kid, you’re killin’ me!!
You don't seem to understand that Obama is not the USA and you cannot get patriotic FReepers to hate the USA just because we hate Obama. We hate Obama because we love the USA. That's why your vile anti-American hate will never be accepted here. We will never betray the USA and support our nation's worst enemies, like you have. Obama will be a bad memory in two and a half years but the USA will survive. Then we will confront our Russian enemies and traitors like you will have to run and hide.
You outed yourself, but I should commit suicide, eh??
You should seek help, and some strong medication.
Keep it up. The harder you hit, the louder they squeal (and then change the subject).
You want to slander everyone who loves America and won’t support terrorists like Putin and Kadaffy as Obama supporters, but it won’t work. My opposition to Obama will never lead me to betray my country and support our enemies like you do.
Popcorn time as you play with the Ruskie mouse. He was foaming at the mouth in his last few pots...lol.
They should build gallows at the MH-17 crash site and hang Putin and the rest of the Thugocracy running Russia.
Maybe this is what Russia needs to wake up to who is running their country and how they are running it into the ground.
I support taking the World Cup away from Russia, but I don’t think it would cost them money. Knowing how Russians operate their World Cup would bring them a large loss. Their Winter Olympics were the most expensive in the world costing over $50B. Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 cost only $2B and had additional security costs as they were held less than a year after 9/11.
