ロ大統領 欧米の追加制裁批判 対抗措置の構え　NHKニュース

ウクライナ情勢を巡っては、東部の停戦実現に向けたロシアの行動を促すため、ＥＵがロシアに対する追加制裁を発動したほか、アメリカも新たな制裁を発表しています。
こうした動きについて、ロシアのプーチン大統領は、訪問先のタジキスタンで記者団に対し、「ウクライナでは和平プロセスが始まり、政治的手段による解決の可能性が出ていた。しかし、和平の実現を好まないものがいる」と述べ、ウクライナ東部の停戦合意を壊しかねないと警告しました。
そのうえで、「ウクライナはＮＡＴＯ＝北大西洋条約機構の復活と、衛星国の結束強化というアメリカの外交政策の道具として利用されただけだ。ウクライナの利益を考える者などいないのではないか」と欧米を強く批判しました。
また、対抗措置について、プーチン大統領は「ロシアの経済的利益を損うことが無いよう見極めながら検討している」と述べ、何らかの措置をとる構えを示しました。

Putin: New EU sanctions 'odd', Russia will consider safe alternatives, won't harm itself ― RT News

The latest list of sanctions looks “quite odd” in view of the peace drive including a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said as the EU’s restricting measures came into force Friday.

Speaking after a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Putin said that Russia has not ruled out responding with tit-for-tat sanctions. At the same time, he said, those measures would only be implemented if they did not harm Russia, and if they would help protect the country.

"The government is thinking about that. But if they are to be imposed, this will be to create better conditions for ourselves,” Putin said.

As for trade partnerships and cooperation in sectors targeted by the EU sanctions, Putin said that “there is always an alternative” in case somebody “does not want to work with Russia.”

“There are some things that are negative, but if we consider the problem in its totality, there is more positive than negative,” Putin said, adding that sanctions open up opportunities for Russia’s manufacturers.

Putin has criticized attempts to “destabilize” the situation in Ukraine rather than solve it. Putting the prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, Igor Plotnitsky, on the list of people sanctioned may jeopardize the peace talks in Ukraine, Putin said.

“I have this seditious thought on my mind, that Ukraine itself is not a subject of interest, rather it is simply being used as a tool to undermine international relations,” Putin said.
