WEST CANNOT ISOLATE RUSSIA OR SEND IT BACK IN TIME, PUTIN SAYS

Mon 18 July 2022:

Russian President Vladimir Putin claims that isolating Russia from the rest of the world is impossible, and that sanctions imposed by Western countries will not halt Russia’s development.

Since sending troops into Ukraine on February 24, Russia has faced a barrage of Western sanctions aimed at isolating it from the global economy, depriving it of goods such as commercial electronics, semiconductors, and aircraft parts.

“Not just restrictions but the almost-complete closure of access to foreign hi-tech products is being deliberately, intentionally used against our country,” Putin said on Monday, speaking at a video conference with government figures.

“It is clear that this is a huge challenge for our country, but … we are not going to give up and stay in a state of disarray or, as some of our ‘well-wishers’ predict, go back decades. Of course not,” he said.

Putin stated that Russia would have to develop its own domestic technology and firms.
