MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia opposes unilateral restrictions, but has already learned to adapt to them, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, commenting on the EU's new package of sanctions against Moscow.
Earlier in the day, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said that the permanent representatives of the EU member states had agreed on the 18th package of sanctions against Russia. Later in the day, the Estonian Foreign Ministry said that the new restrictions would replace the disconnection of Russian banks from SWIFT with a complete ban on transactions.
"We are against them [unilateral sanctions]. But at the same time, of course, we have already acquired a certain immunity from sanctions. We have adapted to life under sanctions," Peskov told reporters.
The new EU sanctions package against Russia will be analyzed to minimize its consequences, the official said, adding that Moscow sees a consistent anti-Russian line of Europe.
"Each new package [of sanctions] adds a negative effect for the countries that join it. This is a double-edged sword," Peskov added.
