A Kremlin spokesman condemned the extension of the sanctions.
"Russia, naturally, considers these sanctions to be unfounded and illegal, and we have never been the instigators of sanction measures," the spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists.
Peskov said Russia would respond by extending measures against the European Union, which include restrictions on the import to Russia of foodstuffs from the EU.
The Kremlin spokesman said the restrictive measures undermine the interest of EU taxpayers.
