Russia threatens to break diplomatic relations with the US if it is recognized as a terrorist state

This is reported by European Pravda with reference to the Russian Interfax.

"Such application of the US's own legislation, which contradicts international law, may be seen by senators and congressmen as some kind of terrible punishment capable of forcing Russia to live according to the rules-based world order invented by the US", Zakharova said.

She also added that "any action generates counteraction" and that this could result in the breakdown of diplomatic relations.

"The logical result of such an irresponsible step could be a break in diplomatic relations, after which Washington risks finally crossing the point of no return with all the ensuing consequences", Zakharova said.
