JAKARTA - Russia has responded to the latest sanctions by the European Union by emphasizing certain immunity to Western sanctions as well as adapting to the sanctions.
The EU sanctions package aims to lower Russia's crude oil purchase price by G7 countries to $47.6 per barrel, diplomats told Reuters.
When asked about the new steps of the European Union, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov considered it a unilateral and illegal act.
Peskov said the measures were in line with what he called "consistent anti-Russian attitude" in Europe.
"But at the same time, of course, we have gained certain immunity from sanctions, we have adapted to life under sanctions," Peskov told reporters.
"Of course, we have to analyze this new sanctions package to minimize its consequences. However, in addition, each new sanctions package has a negative impact on countries that support it. This is a double-edged weapon," Peskov continued.
The Russian government and trade sources are reducing the impact of these new restrictions, doubtful the restrictions would significantly disrupt Russia's oil trade.
