The Russian government accused the United States of declaring an “economic war” and vowed to respond after President Joe Biden banned the import of Russian oil and gas in the U.S. on Tuesday.
In comments to the press reported by Reuters on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil and gas “demands a rather deep analysis” and said Russia is preparing its response. Peskov then said, “If you are asking me what Russia is going to do – Russia is going to do what is necessary to defend its interests.”
Biden banned the import of Russian oil and gas in the U.S. as an economic punishment for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Biden said the move “will deal another powerful blow to [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] war machine.”
Peskov said, “The United States definitely has declared economic war against Russia and is waging this war.”
