Russia Claims Sanctions Resistance Amid New U.S. Threats

 

                                           Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would
                                          start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia

                                         ending its more than three-year-long war in Ukraine

Moscow’s Defiant Response to Trump’s Warning

The Kremlin has announced that Russia has built a “robust immunity” to Western sanctions, responding to recent threats made by former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding potential new measures. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Russia's economy and political system have adapted over time, cushioning the impact of repeated sanctions from Western nations.

This statement comes as Trump publicly suggested he would reintroduce or intensify sanctions against Moscow if re-elected, citing geopolitical tensions and ongoing global concerns.

Peskov emphasized that while sanctions once posed significant challenges, Russia’s internal restructuring, increased self-reliance, and strengthened trade partnerships—particularly with non-Western countries—have fortified its resilience. “These tools of pressure no longer yield the results their creators intended,” he said.

Analysts remain divided on the long-term effectiveness of sanctions, especially as global alliances shift and countries like Russia seek alternatives to Western-dominated financial systems.
