Trump Continues to Threaten Russia with Sanctions over War in Ukraine
Kremlin dismisses Western sanctions as ineffective despite US threats; Russia's economy remains stable and military operations continue unabated, officials said.
- US President Donald Trump threatened to impose additional sanctions on Russia yesterday amid intensified conflict in Ukraine.
- This threat follows years of Western sanctions imposed since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says had no effect.
- Over the weekend, Russia carried out its most extensive air assault since the 2022 invasion, targeting Kyiv and causing the deaths of at least four individuals while leaving over 44 people wounded.
- Peskov emphasized that sanctions will not compel Russia to alter its established stance, while Zelensky expressed gratitude for Trump’s initiatives and the support provided by Western countries.
- The events suggest ongoing escalation with stalled diplomacy and reinforce reliance on sanctions and military pressure amid uncertain peace prospects.
