Putin: No Need for Further Retaliation Against U.S.

Associated Press 5:40 AM ET

(MOSCOW) — President Vladimir Putin says there is no need for Russia to further retaliate against U.S. sanctions.

Putin spoke after President Barack Obama ordered a second round of sanctions targeting about two dozen members of Putin’s inner circle and a major bank supporting them. Moscow made its first retaliatory shot by banning nine U.S. officials and lawmakers from entering Russia.

Putin said in televised remarks at Friday’s session of the presidential Security Council that he sees no immediate need for further Russian retaliation and said sardonically that he would open an account in the Russian bank targeted by the latest U.S. sanctions.
