"We took the decision of the Canadian authorities to further expand the sanction list of Russian officials with regret," she said in a commentary posted on the Russian foreign ministry’s website.
"Instead of taking effort to improve the bilateral relations that have been marred not though our fault, the Canadian government continues to take its lead obediently from the U.S. Barack Obama administration which has made the anti-Russian course one of the central tracks of its failing foreign policy."
"Such irresponsible actions taken by Ottawa continue to undermine the perspectives of normal cooperation between our countries, including within the United Nations, where Canada is aspiring after non-permanent membership in the Security Council, and bring into question the sincerity of declarations by its leaders about their intention to establish constructive dialogue," Zakharova noted.
"Naturally, this unfriendly step will not remain unanswered," she stressed. "The entire responsibility for the negative impacts will rest solely on the Canadian side."
On Monday, Canada’s government expanded the anti-Russian sanction list over the situation in Ukraine. The new list includes 15 people, including six members of the Russian State Duma lower parliament house who were elected in Crimea
