War: You’re behaving like bandit – Russia tells US, others

Russia has said that the West was behaving like a
bandit by imposing sanctions and cutting economic
relations over the conflict in Ukraine.
However, Russia said it was far too big to be
isolated, insisting that the world was much larger
than just the United States and its allies.
Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov told reporters
on Saturday that the United States of America and
the rest of the West were engaged in “economic
banditry” against Russia and that Moscow would
respond.
He did not, however, specify what response there
would be but said it would be in line with Russian
interests.
“As you understand, there must be a corresponding
response to economic banditry,” Peskov said.
“This does not mean Russia is isolated.
“The world is too big for Europe and America to
isolate a country, and even more so a country as
big as Russia. There are many more countries in
the world,” Peskov told reporters, according to
Reuters.
Speaking further, the President Putin’s
spokesperson said that channels for dialogue
between his country and the US still existed, while
noting that any sanction on Russia’s oil and gas
exports would give a considerable jolt to world
energy markets.
