Moscow, June 16 (TIWN) The US is taking hostile actions against Russia that are worse than what it did during the Cold War, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.

"We are not even close to the culmination of the crisis," Peskov told RIA Novosti news agency, explaining the economic damage stemming from the West-Russia confrontation.

"Or rather they have not. We are in a more stable state thanks to macroeconomic measures taken by the government," he added.

Peskov assessed that the current amount of pressure against Russia is unprecedented.

Nothing of the kind was done "even during the Cold War" or to any other nation on Earth, he said. The US and its allies seek to "strangle" Russia with their sanctions, he added.

The anti-Russian sanctions are "obviously creating problems for us, but in the long run they will cause problems just as serious for the nations who adopt those sanctions", the official predicted.

Europeans have felt it more than the Americans did so far, but the economic burden of antagonising Russia will increase for all of them, Peskov said.
