Sanctions against Russia harm global economy - Peskov

MOSCOW. March 4 (Interfax) - The sanctions are inflicting damage on Russia, but they will also hurt those who impose them and the entire global economy, Russian presidential press officer Dmitry Peskov said.

"Sanctions are a double-edged weapon, which, no doubt, causes discomfort to the Russian Federation, but it also hurts the businessmen and the economies of the countries that are playing these sanctions games," Peskov told reporters.

Peskov said he is confident that "these sanctions are not doing anything good to the global economy."
