Putin Rejects Change in Policy on Ukraine: New Western Sanctions Will Not Stop the Kremlin.

According to inkorr.com: Vladimir Putin has rejected the possibility of changing his policy regarding the war with Ukraine, despite the threat of new sanctions from the West. This decision comes against the backdrop of statements from the United States and the European Union about preparing additional restrictions against Russia.

Russia's Attempts to Bypass Sanctions

Despite the imposition of over ten thousand sanctions due to the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian government asserts that the economy can withstand the pressure. Putin points out that military expenditures have contributed to increased economic growth rates in Russia compared to G7 countries. The government is seeking ways to circumvent existing restrictions.

'No sanctions can affect the consistency of the Russian Federation's policy,' emphasized Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Increased Economic Pressure on Russia

US President Donald Trump confirmed his intention to move to the 'second phase' of sanctions against Russia and countries that import Russian oil. Reports from Brussels indicate that the European Union is coordinating its actions with the United States.

Shelling in Russia has led to fires and claimed the lives of at least four people. Moscow claims the targets were military facilities.

European capitals and Ukraine emphasize that the Kremlin shows no willingness for peace negotiations. Russia continues to refer to the war as a 'special military operation' and views it as a necessary step to achieve its political and strategic goals.

Putin does not plan to change his position in the war against Ukraine, despite the threats of new sanctions from the West. Russian authorities intend to seek ways to bypass the restrictions, but the European Union and the United States have agreed to intensify economic pressure on Russia through new sanctions. The conflict in eastern Ukraine remains uncertain, and Russia shows no willingness for a diplomatic resolution of the situation.
