Peskov: US pressure on Russia does not contribute to stability in economic markets

MOSCOW, November 11 – RIA Novosti. The press secretary of Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that the US decision to deprive the Russian economy of the status of a market economy puts pressure on the Russian Federation, which does not contribute to stability in world economic markets.

Earlier, the US Department of Commerce announced that it deprived the Russian economy of market economy status due to the growing influence of the state. According to the ministry, this decision will give the United States an opportunity to reduce pressure on U.S. companies due to “full force” and “unfair import operations” to enforce national anti-dumping legislation against Russia. Anatoly Antonov, the Russian Ambassador to Washington, said this “irrational” decision would increase the imbalance in world markets caused by numerous illegitimate unilateral barriers. The ambassador explained that he talked about rising prices, disruptions in supply chains, problems in the field of food safety.

“This, in my opinion, can only be viewed from one angle – it is a continuation of actions to put pressure on the Russian Federation in all possible directions. We know about pressure on the economy, numerous sanctions, etc.” Answering a question from journalists, Peskov said how they view this situation in the Kremlin.

He added that the Kremlin is seeing a growing awareness that sanctions have failed to destabilize the Russian economy – more in Europe but less in America. However, according to him, the sanctions “cause a fair amount of turmoil in the economy, especially in Europe” because the US is more “resilient” in this regard.

“Although Americans (Americans – ed.) also suffer from inflation, from chaos in the energy market,” Peskov said, “This is one of the steps to continue this truly destructive line that does not contribute in any way to stability in world economic markets.” added..
