The Kremlin was not impressed by the threat of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to introduce new sanctions against Russia if it does not agree to conclude a peace agreement with Ukraine. Politico writes about it. “We don’t see any special new elements here,” Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov said in an interview with Russian media on Thursday. Peskov added that Trump “loved sanctions” and often used them during his first term as president. “Russia is ready for an equal and careful dialogue with the United States, which was during Trump’s first term,” Peskov said. “We’re waiting for signals that haven’t arrived yet.”Advertisement: On Wednesday, Trump threatened to impose new sanctions and tariffs on Russia if President Vladimir Putin does not sign an agreement to end the war in Ukraine. Russia has been waging a full-scale invasion of Ukraine for nearly three years, in a brutal conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives on both sides as forces in Kyiv resist the Kremlin’s onslaught. “Make a deal now and stop this senseless war! IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. If we don’t make a ‘deal’ soon, I will have no choice but to impose high taxes, tariffs and sanctions on everything Russia sells to the United States “, – said Trump on his social platform Truth Social.

We will remind: Donald Trump said that he will introduce high taxes, sanctions and duties on everything that Russia sells to the USA, if the leader of the Russian Federation, Putin, does not conclude a peace agreement with Ukraine. Russia ended 2024 with a record budget deficit of 3.5 trillion rubles in recent years. Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is increasingly worried about problems in Russia’s war economy, just as Donald Trump is actively calling for an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
