Countries dependent on the imposition of sanctions against Russia are failing to achieve their goals, said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Russian president. So he commented on media reports about the impending US imposition of new sanctions due to the situation with Alexei Navalny.
Peskov noted that the author of the sanctions policy should think about whether it achieves its goals and whether it does harm to interstate relations. “The answer will be obvious, this policy does not achieve its goal,” Peskov said.
Also, a Kremlin spokesman believes that there is no point in discussing sanctions that do not yet exist. In any case, the Russian Federation will focus on its own interests, he added.
