Russian presidential press secretary: New US and EU sanctions against Russia complicate the restoration of Russia-US relations.

According to Mars Finance, on October 26, Russian presidential press secretary Peskov stated in a media interview that the new sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe have complicated the restoration of US-Russia relations. All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company TV host Zarubin released a video of the interview with Peskov on social media on the 26th. Peskov stated that Russia will still be guided by its own interests, which include establishing good relations with all countries, including the United States. “The actions taken by the US side in the past week are indeed unfriendly, and these measures have damaged the prospects for the recovery of our relations. However, this does not mean we should give up these efforts.” Peskov also mentioned in the interview that Russian President Putin undoubtedly values US President Trump's sincere desire to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but this matter cannot be “resolved overnight.” ( Jin10 )
