WESTERN ATTEMPT AT GLOBAL DOMINANCE WILL FAIL: PUTIN

Wed 16 March 2022:

President Vladimir Putin has said Russia would achieve its goals in Ukraine and would not submit to what he called a Western attempt to achieve global dominance and dismember Russia.

“Behind the hypocritical talk and today’s actions of the so-called collective West are hostile geopolitical goals. They just don’t want a strong and sovereign Russia,” Putin said, adding the West would only strengthen Russia with its hostile actions.

He said Russia was ready to discuss Ukraine’s neutral status in talks aimed at ending hostilities, but it would still meet the objectives of its military operation, which was “going to plan”.

West’s sanctions ‘blitzkrieg’ has failed

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said the West’s “economic blitzkrieg” against Moscow has failed, while telling his government to increase social payments amid what he called a “not easy” period.

In his most explicit acknowledgment of the pain inflicted by Western sanctions, he said inflation and unemployment would rise, but promised support to families with children.

“The West dropped its mask of civility and began to act belligerently. It begs a comparison to the anti-Semitic pogroms” of Nazis, Putin said at a government meeting.

Russia’s central bank does not need to print money

Russia’s central bank does not need to print money and the country has enough financial resources to fight current challenges, President Vladimir Putin has said.

“Our economy and business have all necessary resources to meet all the goals set, challenges should only mobilise us,” he said, adding that Russian economy would adapt to the new reality triggered by western sanctions on Moscow.

Putin also ordered the increase of financing on infrastructure, saying the government would need structural changes to the economy.
