Russia brushed off U.S. President Donald Trump‘s latest comments about further sanctions over the war in Ukraine, saying they have “no effect whatsoever” and are “absolutely useless”.
Trump told reporters on Sunday, September 7, that he is ready to move to the next phase of sanctions against Russia. He had threatened secondary tariffs and other sanctions if Russia did not make peace with Ukraine soon.
Since then, the war has continued, and over the weekend Moscow launched its largest aerial attack to date. A Ukrainian government building for cabinet ministers was hit for the first time during the attack.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian President Vladimir Putin, blamed Kyiv and its European allies for keeping more sanctions at the forefront of the agenda for Washington.
“Overall, one thing can probably be said: This unprecedented number of sanctions that have been imposed on our country over the past—well, it’s already almost four years, now four years—have had no effect whatsoever,” Peskov told Russian Alexander Yunashev.
“They have proven absolutely useless in terms of putting pressure on Russia,” Peksov said, originally in Russian, in a video posted to the Yunashev LIVE channel on Telegram on Monday morning.
