“This tension is projected onto the mood both in the markets and on the stock exchanges of our country and others,” Peskov said, answering a question about the possibility of damaging the country’s economy due to the tense situation with Ukraine.
He noted that stock markets everywhere in Europe are reacting very, very clearly.
“These falls are followed by ups and so on.
That is, such increased volatility - it is probably such an unwelcome companion.
That is, the tensions that we now have to face, ”Peskov said.
Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Dmitry Kuleba, said that the Ukrainian economy had already suffered due to reports of an alleged escalation of the situation on the border with Russia.
Kuleba stressed that Ukraine and its partners are working together to "avoid the worst scenarios."
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the information escalation of the situation around the “Russian threat” near the borders of Ukraine a mistake.
