“Of course, we, unfortunately, will not be able to free ourselves from the negative impact of the global crisis, but in general there are expectations that next year the fall will not be the same as this one,” said Peskov.
At the same time, he noted that the impact on the Russian economy was less negative than in a number of other countries.
"Although in this, as a matter of fact, we managed to minimize it, and in general we passed with the least negative effect in comparison with a number of other countries," he added.
Earlier, Dmitry Peskov said that there are no plans to introduce new support measures for small and medium-sized businesses, given that the country's economy continues to function.
