“Zelensky must understand that the European countries that try to punish Russia, as they say, are already paying the bill for it,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
Reference was made to the European sanctions on Tuesday Dmitry Peskovsimultaneously attacking Volodymyr Zelensky.
“The European countries that support Kyiv will sooner or later start to question whether the Ukrainian president is doing everything right,” the Kremlin spokesman told reporters on Tuesday, commenting on Zelensky’s interview with the Washington Post, in which he said, among other things , that Western countries should ban all Russians from entering their territories.
“Zelensky must understand that the European countries that try to punish Russia, as they say, are already paying the bill for it. The countries themselves foot the bill and the citizens foot the bill. And sooner or later these countries will also begin to wonder, Zelensky does everything right, why should our citizens pay for his whims?’ Therefore, the Ukrainian side should know this,” Peskov quipped.
The Kremlin spokesman denounced the “hostile” measures taken against Russian citizens in some European countries, such as restricting Russians’ access to the Château de Vincennes in France, calling for a show of “reason”.
Access to the Château de Vincennes, near Paris, which houses archives of France’s armed forces ministry, was restricted to Russians by internal circular following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
When asked about taking this measure, as well as calls for Finland to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian tourists, Dmitry Peskov called these countries “to come to their convocations”.
“These statements come from countries that we have labeled ‘unfriendly’… Many of these countries are driven by their hostility to the point of insanity,” Peskov said.
“I believe that in time, logic will prevail again and those who make these statements will come to their senses,” he added.
