“The United States has declared economic war on Russia, and it is de facto conducting this war,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, as the Russian government scrambled to take steps to mitigate the economic consequences of the sanctions.

President Joe Biden banned the purchase of Russian oil and other energy products.

Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, stated that Russia has been, is, and will continue to be a dependable energy provider, and that energy flows continue.

“But you see the bacchanalia, the hostile bacchanalia, which the West has planted – and that, of course, complicates the issue and encourages us to consider seriously,” Peskov added.

“The United States has unquestionably declared economic war on Russia and is conducting this war,” he stated.
