Russian President Vladimir Putin downplayed the significance of recent US sanctions targeting major Russian oil producers Rosneft and Lukoil, describing them as serious but insufficient to damage Russia's economy. While expressing openness to continued dialogue with the US, Putin issued a stark warning about potential consequences if Russia faced attacks from US Tomahawk missiles sought by Ukraine. These developments follow deteriorating US-Russia relations after a planned summit between Putin and Trump collapsed.
