Peskov stated that Russia will continue its special military operation in Ukraine to secure its interests. He emphasized that Russia aims to achieve the goals set by President Vladimir Putin from the beginning, which are essential for Russia’s present and future.
Peskov also commented on Trump’s description of Russia as a “paper tiger,” saying Russia is a real bear, not a paper one. He highlighted that Russia maintains its economic stability and resilience despite facing economic sanctions and global economic turmoil.
Economic Challenges
Peskov acknowledged that Russia faces certain tensions and problems in various sectors of the economy due to sanctions and global economic fluctuations. However, he assured that Russia maintains its macroeconomic stability.
Normalizing Relations
Peskov expressed that the process of normalizing relations between Russia and the United States is slower than he would like. He criticized the Trump administration for not understanding the benefits of trade and economic cooperation with Russia.
Peskov’s statements were a response to Trump’s recent comments on Russia’s economic situation and the possibility of Ukraine regaining territories occupied by Russian forces.
