12:25 JST, April 19, 2022
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Western countries had scored an own goal by imposing sanctions against Russia over Ukraine which he said had led to a “deterioration of the economy in the West.”
Speaking on the state of Russia’s domestic economy, Putin said that inflation was stabilizing and that retail demand in the country had normalized.
Western countries have imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia’s corporate and financial system since it sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it calls a “special military operation.”
