Kremlin special envoy Kirill Dmitriev, appearing on ‘Special Report,’ has asserted that sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump will not have a substantial impact on the Russian economy. Dmitriev emphasized that economic sanctions are not the ‘solution’ to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
His comments come amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Western nations over the war in Ukraine, with many countries imposing sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion. The Russian government has consistently denied any significant economic damage from these measures, maintaining that the country’s economy remains resilient against external pressures.
Dmitriev’s remarks reflect a broader Russian narrative that economic actions by Western countries will not deter Moscow from pursuing its military objectives in Ukraine. The statement comes as the conflict continues to cause widespread devastation and humanitarian crises, with both sides facing mounting challenges in the war-torn region.
