- Together with partners from other countries, Russia will achieve positive results, the head of state stressed
“There is much to discuss here. In some areas, sanctions created difficulties for us, but in others, on the contrary, they helped us develop our own competencies,” President Vladimir Putin has declared.
“Of course, we’re not abandoning future cooperation. Of course, there’s still work to be done. Together with our partners from other countries, we’ll achieve positive results,” he said.
