Russia has become increasingly isolated from the West since invading Ukraine three months ago. Dozens of companies have left the country forever, and unprecedented Western sanctions have affected its economy and business. “Of course, the representatives of our business have problems, especially in the sphere of supply chains, transport, but, nevertheless, everything can be adjusted, everything must be built anew.Putin said.
“Although there are losses at a certain stage, but it helps us to become stronger in some way, in any case we definitely gain new skills, we start concentrating our economic, financial and administrative resources on new areas of development.. Putin said that the best result for the Russians could be the withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market.
He acknowledged Russia’s need for access to foreign technology, adding that “we will not cut it, they want to impose it on us, but in the modern world it is simply unrealistic, impossible.” He did not explain how Russia would find ways to maintain access to Western software components.
Referring to the United States, Putin said that no “global gendarme” would be able to weaken countries such as Russia, China, and many others, which he called “independent politics.”
