An angry Russian man who yells, "Barack Obama, we're so fed up with your sanctions," offers some "personal sanctions" by smashing his iPhone and iPad with a hammer on his kitchen table.
He also pours out a bottle of Coca-Cola.
He says the video, which has been watched more than 200,000 times since being uploaded to YouTube last Thursday, is a direct address to the U.S. president.
He adds that he will "categorically refuse" to go to America or even "take one step" inside an American store as long as the U.S. imposes sanctions on Russia.
"I will not spend a single kopek on your crap!"
"McDonald's?! I will walk around it on the other side of the street!"
*Warning: The video contains some Russian curse words.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
