MOSCOW, September 8. /TASS/. Sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia over the past four years have had no impact, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the Telegram channel Yunashev Live.
"In general, one thing can probably be said: this unprecedented number of sanctions that have been imposed against our country over the past four years has had no effect," Peskov noted.
Moreover, Peskov said, sanctions turned out to be "absolutely useless" in terms of exerting pressure on Russia.
"Russia is steadily moving towards achieving the goals before it. Russia consistently adheres to the point of view, repeatedly voiced by the head of our state, that it would be preferable for us to achieve our goals and ensure our security by political and diplomatic methods," Peskov said.
However, as long as such a path is impossible due to the lack of reciprocity from Europe and Ukraine, the special military operation will continue, he said.
