Russian President Vladimir Putin provoked the laughter of social networks the actual recognition that Western sanctions are hurting Russia.
About this, Putin wrote in an article for the German newspaper Handelsblatt, which was published in the run-up scheduled for July 7-8 at the G20 summit in Hamburg.
“In our view, such sanctions are not only futile, but contrary to the promoted “twenty” principles of cooperation in the interests of all countries of the world,” the article says. According to Putin, the sanctions hurt the world economy.
We will note, earlier the President of Russia has repeatedly declared that Western sanctions over the annexation of Crimea and hostilities in Donbas only help the Russian economy.
In social networks, Putin’s statement provoked a storm of ironic comments.
