The Kremlin has accused the West of behaving like bandits and claims the world is “too big” for the US and Europe to isolate a country as big as Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the West was engaged in “economic banditry” against Russia and that Moscow would respond.
He did not specify what response there would be but said it would be in line with Russian interests.
“This does not mean Russia is isolated,” he told reporters on Saturday.
“The world is too big for Europe and America to isolate a country, and even more so a country as big as Russia.
“There are many more countries in the world.”
Mr Peskov said that if the US imposed sanctions on Russia’s energy exports then it would give a considerable jolt to energy markets.
