“You and I understand very well that the sanctions that have been introduced will obviously be in effect for a very long time, and this has nothing to do with even a special military operation.
It is obvious that these sanctions will have a prolonged effect, as it was in previous years, including the Soviet years.
That is, these are decades, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
He said this at a meeting of the interdepartmental commission of the Security Council of Russia on the creation of a national system of protection against new infections.
Medvedev declared the need to rely only on his own capabilities.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that anti-Russian sanctions are an attempt to maintain the illusion of dominance of the United States and the entire West in the world.
