Russia says US sanctions affect attempt to restore ties
The measures, announced midweek and the first of their kind since President Donald Trump took office, target major oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil. Washington justified the sanctions by accusing Moscow of a “lack of” commitment to the Ukraine peace process.
In a conversation with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, Peskov described the move as an “unfriendly step” that has affected the prospects for reviving relations. “But this does not mean we should abandon these aspirations. We must do what is beneficial to us,” he added. “Our interests include building good relations with all countries, including the US.”
