According to the deputy, "Putin is absolutely right when he said that the West is punishing itself."

“Today, Vladimir Vladimirovich once again emphasized and showed the state of our industry and the economies of many European countries.

And what is happening today, unfortunately, affects the lives of peoples, the lives of people who were not interested in this conflict, which arose and is supported by the forces of the collective West,” Chepa explained.

Earlier, the Russian leader said that the initiators of sanctions against Russia are punishing themselves.

According to him, their actions provoked price increases, job losses, plant closures, and an energy crisis in these countries.
