Moscow, Jan 13 : Imposing sanctions against a President of a country is “above the limit” and may result in severing diplomatic relations, Russia warned on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comment when asked about the possibility of sanctioning US President Joe Biden.
US Democratic Senators on Wednesday presented a new Russia sanctions bill that would bring “severe costs” to the Russian economy if Ukraine is invaded.
The bill would entail sanctions on Russian government officials and key financial institutions as well as “public disclosure of assets” of President Vladimir Putin and his “inner circle”.
“The imposition of sanctions against the head of state and against the head of Russia, I repeat once again, is an above the limit measure that is comparable to breaking off relations,” Peskov told reporters.
