Russia is aware of the brutal pressure of the collective West on the countries that have not joined the sanctions, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.
"It is not news that the countries of the collective West, led by the United States, are exerting blatant, brutal pressure on a number of states that do not join the illegal restrictions that have been imposed on our country," the Kremlin spokesman said. "These states themselves tell us so," he added.
Commenting on information that Kazakhstan would restrict parallel imports to Russia, Peskov stressed that "Russia and Kazakhstan are allies, they are great friends." "We appreciate and value our bilateral relations and will develop them further," he said.
