Russian President's Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on the statement from US President Joe Biden that Russian banks will be blocked from carrying out US dollar transactions if the situation in Ukraine worsens.
“All of these statements could help destabilize the situation,” & ndash; Peskov warned.
He noted that this could instill false hopes in the hot heads of some representatives of the Ukrainian leadership, who decide that with the help of a new civil war in the country, with the help of force, the problem of the southeast can be solved.
“We are afraid in this regard”, & ndash; Peskov added.
He also noted that the Kremlin had repeatedly commented on such statements and believed that they did not in any way contribute to easing the tensions that were now emerging in Europe.
Peskov also noted that last month, threatening statements have been heard with enviable regularity, “that Russia will have to pay a high price for some hypothetical actions.”
