“And now the United States is making money by supporting Ukraine, selling its expensive energy resources to the Europeans, giving little of the money for things like satellites, ordering military industry from Ukraine, and creating new Taxes, new jobs for the economy, development of new technologies, etc. Therefore, in each case, business is successful,” Peskov told reporters, Sputnik reported.
The Russian government believes that supplying weapons to Ukraine will impede a resolution and directly involve NATO countries in the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the cargo containing weapons bound for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russia. He said that the US and NATO are not only supplying weapons to Kiev, but also training personnel in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries.
The Kremlin has said Western weapons supplies to Ukraine will not help start peace talks.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending foreign development assistance for 90 days while these programs are evaluated for compliance with U.S. foreign policy.
At the same time, Peskov pointed out that Russia is ready for an equal dialogue with the United States.
“Of course, we are carefully monitoring all the rhetoric, all the statements. We are carefully noting all the nuances, and we remain open to dialogue, which President Putin has repeatedly said. “For an equal dialogue, for a mutually respectful dialogue.” “This dialogue, again, took place between the two presidents during the first Trump presidency, and we are waiting for the signal, and it is still being received. We are waiting for a signal that has not arrived,” Peskov told reporters.
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he does not see any way to hurt Russia because he loves the Russian people and has always had very good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nevertheless, the 47th president on the same day threatened to impose additional taxes, tariffs and sanctions on anything Russia sells unless there is a deal on Ukraine.
Commenting on the development, Peskov said there was nothing new in Trump’s methods.
“As you know, we don’t see anything new here. As you know, President Trump was the American president who most frequently resorted to sanctions techniques during his first presidential years. He liked these techniques. , I liked it, at least during the first presidential years,” Peskov told reporters.
