“Let’s not rely on various media speculations, which are often based on nothing or based on some kind of rumors that have not been verified or confirmed in any way,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
He recommended focusing on the official bodies of "those countries that are addicted to sanctions actions."
Peskov also commented on the information that appeared in the media that Russia's disconnection from the international SWIFT system is unprofitable for the US and the EU.
“If you remember, SWIFT is an organization, and they made statements when they said that this (shutdown. -
RT
) is actually impossible.
Let's not lose sight of this, too," the press secretary of the Russian president said.
Earlier, the Handelsblatt newspaper, citing sources in the German government, reported that the United States and the European Union were no longer considering cutting Russia off from SWIFT.
It is noted that instead, the issue of targeted economic sanctions against the largest Russian banks is being discussed.
