JAKARTA - Western countries are competing with each other to take steps against Russia, but they are running out of action to pressure Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
Commenting on the possible ban on issuing Schengen visas to Russia, he said: "We can see that EU countries and North American countries are really competing with each other to take unfriendly actions against Russia."
"However, we can also see that they are running out of action that they hope will pressure us and make us change our position, even though that is a false belief," Peskov said.
Furthermore, the Kremlin Spokesman stressed that Moscow would react very negatively and take action if Finland restricted visa grants to Russia; however, Russia hopes that such an initiative will not be implemented.
“Russia's reaction will be negative; as far as we understand, so far this idea has not been implemented; hopefully not [implemented]. But, of course, any such activity against Russian citizens will trigger a countermeasure, a response."

He added that Moscow's reaction to such a Finnish decision would be "understandable and quite predictable".
