Moscow, Sep 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) Moscow said Monday that sanctions on Russia's oil and gas exports will not revive relations with the United States or lead to peace with Ukraine.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed the Russia sanctions bill into law. The legislation targets Russia's energy and defence industries, as well as its "shadow fleet" of tankers, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that Russia has largely adapted to the sanctions and found ways to minimise their impact, adding that the country's trading partners oppose such restrictions.
Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he President Trump had agreed to meet in New York, and said Ukraine was ready to take serious steps towards peace in coordination with the American team.
“We agreed to meet in New York, and this meeting could change a lot. There is diplomatic momentum,” Zelensky said in a post on X after speaking with Trump.
He did not announce a date for the meeting or specify what the two leaders hoped to agree. His account outlined areas under discussion but did not announce a peace agreement or a timetable for implementing any measures.
Zelensky described the conversation as important and said it had covered substantial ground. He placed the pursuit of peace at the centre of Ukraine’s engagement with the American team.
“The peace track is our number one priority,” he said.
The Ukrainian president identified energy security, food security and the protection of human life as issues being considered alongside possible steps to reduce tensions. He did not set out the individual proposals or explain how they would be put into practice.
“There are ideas for de-escalation steps and for addressing fundamental security issues – energy security, food security, and the protection of human life,” he said.
Zelensky also signalled Ukraine’s willingness to act, saying work with US officials was continuing.
