Russia Learned to Withstand Illegal Sanctions Pressure Over the Years – Kremlin
10:33 GMT 16.04.2026 (Updated: 11:11 GMT 16.04.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Moscow assumed that the United States might not extend general licenses for the purchase of Russian oil, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
"We have already learned to act in a way that minimizes the consequences of such measures for our interests. We will continue to do so," Dmitry Peskov said.
Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US would not extend licenses that temporarily allowed purchases of Russian oil during the Iran conflict.
"It could have been assumed. This was one of the scenarios. You know that we have been living under the weight of sanctions for months and years, which we consider illegal from the point of view of international law," Peskov told reporters.
On Wednesday, US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said that Washington will not renew general licenses allowing the purchase of Russian and Iranian oil.
The Russian government's economic bloc has many proposals to accelerate the dynamics of economic growth in Russia, Peskov said.
On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country's GDP has been declining for two months in a row, by a total of 1.8%.
"Members of the government's economic bloc have many proposals to activate the economy and give it greater economic momentum," Peskov told reporters.
Russia has been living under the burden of illegal sanctions for years and has learned to minimize their consequences, the spokesman added.
