Kremlin responds to Trump's threats to impose sanctions on Russia

According to the Russian outlet Meduza, Peskov said, “We don’t see any particularly new elements here.”

He added that Trump “likes sanction methods,” noting that during his first term, he became the president who used such tools most frequently.

Peskov claimed that Russia remains ready for "equal and respectful dialogue" with the U.S., which "took place" during Trump's first term.

“We are waiting for signals, but we have not seen any yet,” he added.

• Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump urged Russian leader Vladimir Putin to agree to a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Trump warned that failure to do so would result in high taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on all Russian exports to the U.S.
