GENEVA (Reuters) - The latest U.S. sanctions against Russia violate World Trade Organisation rules and may force Moscow into a destabilising trade dispute, Russia's ambassador told the Geneva-based trade body on Thursday.

"It looks like we are being forced to seek the protection of our legitimate rights and interests through the WTO mechanisms," said Russian Ambassador Gennady Ovechko, adding that Russia was also concerned by sanctions imposed by other WTO members.
