Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov commented on the statement of the head of the White House, Joe Biden, regarding possible sanctions restrictions against Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, United States President Joe Biden allowed the imposition of sanctions against Putin personally and an “asset freeze”. According to him, Washington may take this step in the event of a possible Moscow attack on Kiev, which is reported daily by foreign media.
“It’s not painful, it’s politically destructive […] The fact is that according to our law, this has long been prohibited for representatives of senior leadership and officials. Therefore, of course, such a formulation of the issue is absolutely not painful”, Peskov commented, RIA Novosti reports.
In recent months, foreign media have been circulating information that Russia is allegedly preparing an “attack” on the territory of Ukraine and is gathering troops to the borders. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that Moscow moves troops exclusively on its territory and does not threaten anyone. According to him, such messages are “empty and unfounded escalation of tension.”
