Putin: Symmetric response to Western sanctions is not in Russia’s interest

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, Vladimir Putin was quoted by “Novosti” news agency. Last night, the President of Russia emphasized at the Congress of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of this country that the success of the Russian armed forces on the war front depends on the speed of solving technological problems. The battle in Ukraine depends on how efficiently and quickly the technical problems are solved behind the front and how actively the parties involved take this action, and this must be done in real time, and we have succeeded in this direction. Regarding the number of new developments in this field, the President said that the Ministry of Defense of Russia does not even have the necessary time to follow up on the proposals of the National Military Industry Complex. He said: “People’s military industrial complex” is working at full capacity now. The Ministry of Defense does not even have time to follow up on the proposals that are presented every day by those involved in this field. New proposals are born and presented every day. According to him, artificial intelligence technologies, especially in the production of unmanned equipment, represent one of the most important developing industries in the country. >

Putin: symmetrical response to Western sanctions is not always in our interest

Vladimir Putin at the Congress of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Russia also emphasized that symmetrical response to Western sanctions , that is, “responding to the ban by implementing a counter ban” is not always beneficial for Russia.

He said: “We have to see what is good for our country and what will be harmful for the whole economy. Bans are sometimes useful to put those who ban us in their place, but sometimes such a ban is not good if we want to provide something to our market. Therefore, a decision should be made carefully in this field.”

The Russian president also supported the proposal to establish a coordination center for the development of Russian trade relations in new markets and reminded that the establishment of a trade center, including in the countries Africa, South America and Southeast Asia make sense.

Vladimir Putin confirmed in his meeting last night that he will visit China in May this year. A few days ago, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman of the Kremlin, announced the preparation of measures for Putin’s visit to China.

On Wednesday, US Deputy Energy Secretary Jeffrey Piatt announced new sanctions against Russia’s energy sector, noting that they target service providers and companies involved in the procurement of materials and technology for future energy projects. Russia is involved.
