The Kremlin warned that any new measures would reduce the chances of a summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russia’s Vladimir Putin

Then-U.S. VP Joe Biden, left, shakes hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Russia, on March 10, 2011.The Kremlin said on Thursday it would respond in kind to any new “illegal” new U.S. sanctions on Russia and warned any new measures would reduce the chances of a summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and President Vladimir Putin taking place.

The Kremlin has denied U.S. allegations that Russia tried to meddle in the 2020 U.S. presidential election or that it was behind a cybersecurity breach affecting software made by SolarWinds Corp.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would wait to see what happened on the sanctions front before commenting in detail.“We condemn any intentions to impose sanctions, consider them illegal, and in any case the principle of reciprocity operates in this area,” said Peskov.

The Kremlin has so far responded coolly to the summit idea making clear it will be contingent upon U.S. behaviour towards Russia.Peskov said on Thursday that any new U.S. sanctions would not increase the chances of such a summit taking place, but said it would be up to the two presidents to decide on the matter.He said the situation around Ukraine remained tense with NATO and U.S. forces still deployed close to Russia’s own borders.
