Kremlin on introduction of sanctions against Turkey because of Russia

Increasing the share of calculations in national currencies between the two countries should not lead to the sanctions of the West towards Turkey, said press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov to reporters.

“No, this cannot and should not be a reason for some secondary sanctions, although it can be imagined that the United States and EU countries, Brussels will continue their policy to provide absolutely unprecedented pressure on any countries that will not want to follow them mainstream, ”he said, answering a question from journalists about whether the agreements of the heads of the two countries can become a reason for imposing secondary sanctions against Turkey.
