Russia is showing better economic results than many other G20 nations, even despite mounting sanctions pressure, President Vladimir Putin stated in remarks to media on Dec. 22, following a meeting of the Russian State Council on youth policy.
“As for the economy, despite the collapse, disarray and catastrophe predicted for us in the economic sphere, nothing of the kind has happened. Moreover, Russia demonstrates much better results than many countries of the G20, and demonstrates it consistently,” Putin replied to a question from TASS, adding that he was referring to macroeconomic indicators.
