According to the representative of the Kremlin, despite the prevailing role of the economy, politicization of economic processes often arises.
“This, from our point of view, is undesirable and untrue,” said Peskov.
He noted that trade, economic and investment relations between the countries are “the best insurance, the best damper from fluctuations in the international political situation”.
A spokesman for the president added that strong economic ties between countries strengthen trust, as well as contribute to speed and efficiency in solving problems.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the United States should stop trying to politicize Nord Stream 2, which is a purely commercial project.
