Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kremlin says it is immune to sanctions after Trump’s 10-day ultimatum to Putin
Russia has developed immunity to sanctions now after living under them for years, a senior Kremlin official said in response to US president Donald Trump’s 10-day ultimatum to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions.
“We have been living under a huge number of sanctions for quite a long time, our economy operates under a huge number of restrictions,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said yesterday.
The US president has warned Russia and said that Washington would start imposing punitive tariffs and other measures in 10 days if Moscow does not prepare to end its war in Ukraine.
This comes as Ukraine has detained an air force officer on accusations of spying for Russia, who they said have leaked the location of F-16 and Mirage 2000 fighter jets.
“In particular, the enemy’s priority targets were airfields where F-16s, Mirage 2000s and Su-24s were based,” Ukraine’s domestic security agency said.
Moscow regularly targets airfields and military bases across Ukraine, especially areas it believes are home to Western-provided weapons like the F-16 or Mirage jets.
