Peskov’s words were quoted by the propagandist state agency TASS.Specifically, Putin’s spokesperson stated that Russia “has been living under a huge number of restrictions for quite a long time, but its economy is functioning.”“Russia has developed somewhat of an immunity to sanctions,” he assured.However, Peskov added that the Kremlin continues to monitor statements by Trump and other Western leaders regarding sanctions against Russia.On July 14, Donald Trump stated that he would introduce secondary tariffs for Russia, which could reach 100%, if a peace agreement with Ukraine is not reached within 50 days.Meanwhile, the Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council and former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, called Trump’s statement about a 50-day deadline for Russia a “decorative ultimatum.”On July 29, the President of the United States announced that he had shortened the Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s deadline to cease fire in Ukraine to 10 days.
