“Indeed, sanctions and restrictions did not affect the execution of the federal budget: all obligations are being fulfilled in full without fail,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that the main indicators of the Russian federal budget remain balanced, despite the challenges.

Earlier, the head of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, as part of a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, said that the country would retain the role of a strategic energy supplier even with the introduction of new sanctions.
