Dodik spoke about the impact of the Ukrainian conflict on the Republika Srpska. “As I already said, the West is in a collective hysteria against Russia.

They demand that everyone in the region join the sanctions,” Dodik said. He noted that communication, primarily trade and economic, with the Russian Federation has been disrupted, which worsens already well-established economic relations, he said. In his opinion, Moscow is pursuing the right foreign policy line, trying to protect its interests.
