Russia's Economy Prepares for Possible New Sanctions, Says Peskov

The Kremlin is responding to new statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the resolution of the situation in Ukraine and potential restrictions, said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for the president of Russia.

Trump stated that if no agreement is reached regarding Ukraine by the deadline he mentioned, measures against Russia could include sanctions, tariffs, and "some other things."
"We continue to monitor all statements made by President Trump and other international representatives on this matter," Peskov told reporters in response to a question about whether Russia's economy is preparing for new possible sanctions.

Earlier, Trump had announced that the 10-day countdown to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine "starts today," noting that he intends to impose import tariffs in the absence of an agreement with Ukraine, although he is unsure how they would affect Russia.
