US EditionRussia Warns EU of Sanctions ‘Recoil’ as France Urges More Pressure on Moscow
- On June 29, 2025, the Kremlin warned Europe that tougher EU sanctions targeting Russia’s energy, banking, and military sectors would cause economic recoil for Europe itself.
- This warning follows the European Commission’s June 10 proposal for new sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, despite reports that the U.S. has not increased its sanction measures.
- Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s representative, stated on Russian television that Russia views the sanctions as unlawful, has developed defenses against them, and that economic measures will not compel the country to enter peace negotiations.
- On Friday, President Vladimir Putin highlighted that Russia’s economy is expected to expand by 4.3 percent in 2024, surpassing the euro zone’s modest growth of 0.9 percent, and warned that further EU sanctions would ultimately backfire, causing greater harm to Europe.
- Western officials, with France’s President Emmanuel Macron among the most outspoken, advocate for intensified sanctions aimed at compelling Russia to negotiate, while the Kremlin argues that only reasoned discussion can prompt talks and cautions that tougher sanctions could backfire economically on Europe.
