Kremlin: Russian economy adapts to sanctions well

MOSCOW, Nov 2 (PRIME) -- The Russian economy has adapted well to the sanctions and is trying to benefit from them, which is successful in some cases, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday commenting on E.U. preparations to introduce new sanctions.

"Our economy has adapted to these (sanctions) conditions quite well," Peskov said.

The attempts to benefit from the restrictions are "sometimes successful," he said.

The E.U. is considering a new round of restrictions that would limit about U.S. $5.3 billion of trade with Russia, including in diamonds.
