“These sanctions were imposed on Russia, they expected a complete collapse of the Russian economy ... but this blitzkrieg did not take place against the Russian economy,” the Russian leader said.
According to him, in a number of EU countries, against which no one introduced restrictions, inflation is much higher than in Russia, which is subject to sanctions.
“In some, 21-23% is twice as much as ours,” Putin stressed.
Earlier, Putin said that the companies that left Russia had an agreement to return soon.
