Kremlin says sanctions will cause Moscow problems but they can be solved

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that Western sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine would cause problems for Moscow, but not insurmountable ones, with Russia set to widen its trade and economic ties with Asian countries.

Missiles pounded the Ukrainian capital on Friday as Russian forces pressed their advance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy pleaded with the international community to do more, saying sanctions announced so far were not enough.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on possible punitive measures against President Vladimir Putin himself.

He said that Russia had deliberately reduced its dependence on foreign imports to protect itself against sanctions.

5. Of course the Kremlin would say, "NBD."

They're not about to let on how much the sanctions are impacting them. No matter how bad things get, they'll just keep saying, "No biggie ... we got this ... move along, nothing to see here." *hand wave*

The West knows better than to take the Kremlin's word for anything. Putin and his underlings are lying liars who do nothing but lie.
