Vladimir Putin: the agro-industrial complex made a breakthrough that we never dreamed of before
- Russia has been under sanctions throughout its history, even in the 19th, even in the 20th century. What is the reason? I have already talked about that. This is due to the growing power of Russia and due to increasing its competitiveness. Russia is a powerful and strong player to consider", Vladimir Putin said.
He noted that the country defends not only "wishful thinking", but the interests of the state, of the people, and it will continue to do so.
Sanctions against Russia have a negative effect on the entire world community, but there are more advantages for Russia, Putin said.
- It made us activate our brains in many ways. We have grown in many areas, and in the past year we spent 600 billion rubles on import substitution. I'm not even talking about agribusiness, we closed the market. And agriculture has made such a breakthrough that was difficult to imagine before. The volume of sales to the foreign market increased 16 times. In any case, we would like the world economy to develop without shocks and naturally, - said Vladimir Putin.
