MOSCOW, 7 April, 2021 (TON): As the Myanmar Military junta continues its bloody crackdown on protests since 1 February, Russia on Tuesday warned against imposing sanctions on Myanmar.
The media cited the foreign ministry saying, threats, pressure and using sanctions against the acting authorities in Myanmar are futile and extremely dangerous.
Such policies "only contribute to setting the parties against each other", said the Ministry, adding that it would drive people into civil war.
The US, the UK, the European Union and Canada have already hit the military with a raft of sanctions.
Since the coup, the military junta has violently cracked down on protests and at least 564 people have been killed, including 46 children, and nearly 2,700 people are in detention, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).
