Reference News Network, June 29 report: According to Sputnik News, on June 29, Russian President's press secretary Peskov said that pressure or force cannot force Russia to the negotiation table; this can only be achieved when there is a reasonable basis.
According to the report, when commenting on the EU's plan to impose new sanctions against Russia, Peskov told Russian TV journalist Zarubin: "Only when there is a reasonable basis can Russia be brought to the negotiation table. Any pressure or force cannot achieve this."
Peskov said: "The tougher the sanctions, the stronger the counter-effect, like a gun, the greater the recoil on the shoulder. Weapons are indeed a double-edged sword. I reiterate, we believe these sanction measures are illegal."
