The Kremlin warned that sanctions will remain in place for years to come

The United States will continue illegal attempts to put pressure on the Russian economy, Moscow proceeds from this when building its plans, Peskov said

“We have no doubt that these sanctions will last for many years. <...> We proceed from this when building our plans,” he noted.

This is how the representative of the head of state commented on the statement by US Assistant Secretary of State Geoffrey Pyatt that Washington seeks to halve Russia’s income from energy exports by 2030, and Western sanctions will remain in place for a long time.

The United States will continue to try to put pressure on the entire system of international trade and economic relations, Peskov added. He emphasized that “this is nothing more than illegal attempts to put pressure on the Russian economy.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin also said that sanctions against Russia will remain in place for a long time .

At the same time, in addition to priority measures to replace imported technologies and products, medium- and long-term transformations are needed, aimed at the strategic goals of Russia’s sovereign development, the head of state emphasized.
