Moscow accuses Washington of waging ‘economic war’ on Russia

Moscow has accused the United States of declaring an economic war on Russia and put Washington on notice that it is carefully weighing how to respond to a newly-announced ban on imports of Russian oil and gas to the country.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the sweeping sanctions imposed on Russia by the US and its Western allies over its offensive in Ukraine as “hostile bacchanalia” which had roiled global markets.

He added the decisions announced by US President Joe Biden demanded “deep analysis”, and cautioned Moscow would “do what is necessary to defend its interests” in response.

“The United States definitely has declared economic war against Russia and is waging this war,” he said.
