Moscow said on Monday it would respond to the latest EU sanctions over the Ukraine conflict which target several prominent figures including a popular singer, condemning them as “inconsistent and illogical”. “Such decisions... Will be followed by an appropriate response,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “We note how inconsistent and illogical it is that every time that a hope appears of a solution to the crisis inside Ukraine, the European Union rushes to bring in new anti-Russian restrictions.” The latest EU measures target five Russians including deputy defence ministers Anatoly Antonov and Arkady Bakhin, as well as Iosif Kobzon, an MP who is also a popular crooner often compared to Frank Sinatra.
