According to him, the purpose of the imposed anti-Russian sanctions was to create an economic collapse in the country.

“We survived, and now we can say with confidence that no collapse will come.

Moreover, I believe that we have survived the most difficult times, survived them with honor, ”RIA Novosti quoted Sobyanin as saying.

He stressed that anti-Russian sanctions also harmed those countries that imposed them.

In July, Sobyanin said that the sanctions war against Russia did not lead to a sharp drop in the economy.
