MOSCOW – Russian government officials criticized the United States on Friday for requiring a resolution to the Ukraine conflict before pursuing economic partnerships between the two nations.
Dmitry Peskov, who serves as the Kremlin’s chief spokesperson, argued that linking business cooperation to the war settlement is counterproductive for both countries.
“We are wasting time, and American companies, just like our own, are missing out on the profits they could already be making,” Peskov stated during Friday’s briefing.
The Russian official maintained that discussions about potential collaboration remain under consideration, emphasizing that Moscow and Washington “have many opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation” despite current diplomatic tensions.
