#live #moscow #russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin issued his first response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s new oil sanctions and the European Union’s 19th sanctions package, accusing the West of “economic self-harm” and warning that any use of long-range U.S. weapons against Russian territory would trigger an “overwhelming response.”

Speaking to reporters in Moscow, Putin confirmed that Trump himself proposed the now-suspended Budapest peace summit, insisting that Russia “never withdrew” from preparations.
“The U.S. President proposed the location and timing himself,” Putin said. “I agreed. But such meetings must be prepared carefully — not taken lightly.”
