U.S., EU behaving like bandits, we’ll respond: Putin
Kremlin took a swipe at U.S. and the EU on Saturday, describing the West as “economic bandits” following biting sanctions in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov threatened that Russia would respond to the “economic banditry” though he did not specify the nature of the response, per Reuters report.
Mr Peskov asserted that Russia was too big a country to be isolated from the world.
“This does not mean Russia is isolated. The world is too big for Europe and America to isolate a country, and even more so a country as big as Russia. There are many more countries in the world,” Mr Psekov said.
Russia embarked on a war with Ukraine last week Thursday, a development that has been globally condemned, with several countries and organisations imposing heavy sanctions on Russia.
The U.S. has also considered freezing the $643 billion in reserves of the Russian central bank amassed by Mr Putin, and freezing assets of Russian oligarchs.
