Moscow was not expecting "anything good" from the US President-elect Joe Biden Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday, accusing members of his future administration of "Russophobia".  Ryabkov in an interview said, "We are definitely not expecting anything good. And it would be strange to expect good things from people, many of whom made their careers on Russophobia and throwing mud at my country". 

Russia was accused of the major cyber attack on US government agencies recently. The interview was released at this time, To go with the minister's comment, President elect Joe Biden said on Tuesday that the attack cannot go "unanswered", promising to retaliate once he takes office on January 20. The minister said Moscow should move to a "total containment" approach in relations with the United States, retaining "selective dialogue" on subjects that are of interest to Russia. 

The deputy foreign minister has informed that Russia would not initiate any contacts with Biden's transition staff, and would also not make any "unilateral concessions". He added Moscow will treat US as they treat Russia saying, if the US continued approaching Russia as a "strategic rival" then Moscow would "treat them in a similar way". "We are going from bad to worse. This was very typical for the past four years and so far there is no feeling that this trend has outlived its usefulness," Ryabkov said the outgoing administration was trying to "loudly slam the door" pointing the fresh US black listing 45 Russian companies on accusation of link with military.
