MOSCOW. Sept 13 (Interfax) - The Kremlin feels negative about the remark of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that described sanctions as an effective diplomatic tool.
"Negatively," Kremlin spokesman said in response to the question how the Kremlin felt about Zelensky's remark.
"There is a set of theories regarding sanctions, which may be a bit trivial but have proven to be correct: it is a two-edged weapon, which does not do any good to anyone, does not help solve a problem, contravenes international law, erodes international legal norms, and generally harms countries which impose or face the sanctions," Peskov said.
Zelensky asked Ukraine's foreign partners earlier on Friday not to reconsider anti-Russian sanctions.
"Sanctions are a strong and effective diplomatic weapon. I keep telling our global partners that are helping us - and we are grateful for that - but sometimes think about lifting the sanctions: 'You are losing money. Seriously? Pardon me, but we are losing people," Zelensky said.
