Russia is "very closely monitoring all the rhetoric" from Washington, a Kremlin spokesperson said, after President Donald Trump threatened to impose new sanctions unless Russia ends its war against Ukraine.

"We don't see any new elements here," Dimitry Peskov, the spokesperson, said on Thursday.

He added, "You know that in his first iteration of the presidency, Trump was the president of America who most often resorted to sanctions methods. He likes these methods. At least he liked them during his first presidency."

The comments came the morning after Trump's social media message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling on him to make a deal to "settle" Russia's war in Ukraine.

"It's time to 'MAKE A DEAL.' NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!" Trump wrote in a new social media post.

Peskov on Thursday said financial actions against Russian assets held in the West would not go unanswered.

It’s already leaking out that the real Russia collusion was in Biden’s White House. Weak and unenforced sanctions, limiting military aid at key times, threats to Ukraine, etc.
