According to him, the Russian authorities made it so that Russia began to receive dividends from the sanctions.
“Dividends in the form of internal mobilization, in the form of internal mobilization of all our resources, in the form of internal mobilization of our production, in the form of intensifying work on the development of new technologies, their introduction into production, compensation for those sectors of the economy where foreigners come from,” he said.
Peskov emphasized that business is happy to develop vacated niches and does it no worse than foreign companies.
“This suggests that sanctions bring problems, but they do not work,” the Kremlin spokesman added.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his address to the Federal Assembly, said that the Russian economy is becoming more complex, technologically advanced and non-resource-based.
