Russian leader’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs’ call for the US to change its position on Russia.
According to him, such statements are rare in the US, but they show that at least some discussion in the country is gradually heating up.
“This is this economist’s point of view, nothing more. It is quite rare reasoning nowadays, especially in the Western mainstream. Such reasoning is very rare now, but nevertheless, some kind of discussion is still gradually heating up,” he said.
Earlier, Sachs expressed the opinion that the US authorities should start negotiations to end the Ukrainian crisis and recognise the new Russian regions.
