Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the latest US sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, calling them serious but not damaging to Russia’s economy. The sanctions, announced by President Donald Trump, aim to pressure Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. Putin said the move was “unfriendly” and would not improve Russia-US ties. He added that Russia remains open to dialogue but warned that any attack using US Tomahawk missiles would face a “very strong” response. The sanctions are the first imposed by the Trump administration since his return to office, following the collapse of planned peace talks in Budapest.
