EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletCEEMEARussiaBulletEmerging Market News

Reuters reporting comments from Kremlin spox Dmitry Peskov. Says on US President Donald Trump's threat of sanctions and tariffs on Russia "We don't see any particularly new elements here", adding "Trump in his first term was a president who often resorted to sanctions." Peskov referring to Trump's post on his Truth Social platform on 22 Jan promising "Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States" if the war in Ukraine continues. On the prospect of talks with Trump Peskov says "We remain ready for equal and mutually respectful dialogue." Peskov: "we are waiting for signals, waiting for signals that have not yet been received,"

  • Tass reports Peskov saying that Putin may give an interview to US-based podcaster Lex Fridman, but that this was "not a matter for the near future".
  • Referring to the Reuters article claiming President Vladimir Putin "has grown increasingly concerned about distortions in Russia's wartime economy,"  Peskov claims "We maintain a relatively high rate of development despite certain problematic factors...Our economy will allow us to meet all military requirements and social obligations...The situation is stable".
  • Peskov said "I would like to emphasize once again that unfriendly actions against the Russian Federation cannot but have consequences for those who take them," referring to the multi-billion euro penalty levied against Austria's Raiffeisen Bank earlier this week.
