“Negatively (Zelensky’s words were accepted in the Kremlin. - RT ),” Peskov answered the question about how the Kremlin evaluates the statement of the President of Ukraine.

As the Kremlin spokesman emphasized, sanctions - double-edged weapons - do no good to anyone.

“It does not help to solve the problem, it contradicts international law, erodes the norms of international law and generally does not bring anything good - neither to the countries against which sanctions are announced, nor to those countries that announce sanctions,” he said.

Earlier, Zelensky, speaking at the Yalta European Strategy forum, said that “until there is peace,” sanctions should be maintained.

Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, who followed the Ukrainian leader, did not agree with Zelensky’s words.
