Spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin was watching closely all “statements and rhetoric” coming from U.S. President Donald Trump.

On the eve of possible negotiations between Russia and the United States on the Ukrainian conflict, Donald Trump burns napalm. On the one hand, the new owner of the White House threatens Moscow with new tariffs and sanctions if it is uncooperative.

Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump was also fond of imposing sanctions during his first term and Moscow sees nothing new in the president's latest ultimatum. "We do not see any particular new elements here," Peskov told Russian media Thursday, Politico.eu reported. "He likes these methods, at least he liked them during his first presidency."

Russia is "very closely monitoring all the rhetoric" from Washington, a Kremlin spokesperson said, after President Donald Trump threatened to impose new sanctions unless Russia ends its war against Ukraine. "We don't see any new elements here," Dimitry Peskov, the spokesperson, said on Thursday.
