Russian leader Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with American President Joe Biden, said that the sanctions have no positive effect on the United States itself, said Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov.
“Putin spoke about what the Russian side needs, that sanctions are not new, they have been adopted for quite a long time, but unfortunately they do not give any positive effect either for the United States or for Russia,” Ushakov quoted the words of the Russian leader.
Putin’s aide noted that Joe Biden had warned of potential new sanctions and said there was a threat to Russia’s “economy, finance and politics”.
At the same time, many experts concluded that the talks between the presidents of the two countries, despite the absence of specific agreements, are likely to reduce tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
