Kremlin: Russia sanctions are 'bandit-like restrictions'
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the sanctions against Russia “bandit-like restrictions.” He said this in an interview with RTV1 television.
“Crisis always tempers you and makes you stronger,” Peskov said, adding that Russia had learned to live in such conditions.
In late March, Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Syria, Nicaragua, Venezuela and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea called for the lifting of sanctions to combat the coronavirus epidemic. The UN General Assembly refused to adopt the draft resolution.

The European Union countries, as well as the United States and Ukraine, first introduced economic sanctions against Moscow in 2014. This happened after Crimea became a subject of Russia by referendum.
The peninsula's accession to Russia was considered illegal by them, but Moscow denied the allegations. Sanctions were then imposed in 2015 over the conflict in Donbass. Moscow responded by imposing a ban on food imports from countries that supported the sanctions.
