Russia issues scathing response to Trump’s sanction threats

After Russia carried out its heaviest aerial bombardment since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump warned of tougher sanctions against Moscow.

According to BBC, the Sunday’s attacks claimed the lives of four civilians, among which those of a mother and her child.

Ukraine reported that the attack, which damaged the main government building in Kyiv, included at least 810 drones and 13 missiles, leading to renewed demands for tougher Western measures against President Vladimir Putin.

On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that no sanctions would ever be able to force Russia to “change the consistent position that our president has repeatedly spoken about.”

Trump informed reporters on Sunday, September 7, that he was ready to escalate sanctions against Russia. He had previously threatened secondary tariffs targeting Russia’s major trading partners, along with other punitive actions, if the country did not move toward peace with Ukraine.

“We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow us,” Trump shared with NBC News’ Meet the Press.

He also added that if the EU increased their sanctions on Russia, then their “economy will be in total collapse, and that will bring President Putin to the table.”

Russia on the other hand dubbed Trump’s sanctions “absolutely useless,” stating they have “no effect whatsoever,” Newsweek reported.

“Overall, one thing can probably be said: This unprecedented number of sanctions that have been imposed on our country over the past—well, it’s already almost four years, now four years—have had no effect whatsoever,” Peskov told Russian Alexander Yunashev.

“They have proven absolutely useless in terms of putting pressure on Russia,” Peksov said in Russian in a video posted Monday morning on the Yunashev LIVE channel on Telegram, according to Newsweek.

Several European leaders have once again expressed their support for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.

As reported by Uniland, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that 26 of Ukraine’s allies will deploy troops “by land, sea, or air” to secure the country once a ceasefire is in place.

However, Macron clarified that he does not seek war with Russia and is focused on preventing “any major new aggression.”

Putin responded to Macron’s message, stating, “If any troops appear there, especially now, during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.

“And if decisions are reached that lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any sense in their presence on the territory of Ukraine, full stop.”
