Russia is prepared for any developments in terms of relations with the United States and if Washington opts to sever diplomatic ties, Moscow will get over it, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday, commenting on the US Senate’s calls for declaring Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, TASS reports.
"American lawmakers, including, by the way, flying House of Representatives speaker [Nancy] Pelosi, seem to have finally given up after trying, in the anti-Russian heat, the entire available sanction arsenal, which has proved to be inefficient, and have plunged into developing such powerful, to their mind, weapon as declaring Moscow a sponsor of terrorism. They should know: we are prepared for any development of the situation. And if Washington opts to halt any contacts with Moscow, we will well get over it," she said.
According to Zakharova, such a step is highly likely to be followed by the severance of diplomatic relations, which will be "a point of no-return with all the consequences that may come with it."
She also noted that the United States is unable to crack down on regimes it brands as terrorist.
