Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the West will fail in its attempts to isolate Russia and face growing economic problems. Speaking via video link to members of the Eurasian Economic Forum, President Putin said, Russia was not going to shut itself off from international cooperation. The forum includes several ex-Soviet nations. He said that trying to isolate Russia is impossible, utterly unrealistic in the modern world and those who try to do it, primarily hurt themselves. The Russian leader cited growing economic challenges in the West, including inflation unseen in 40 years, growing unemployment, rupture of supply chains and the worsening of global crises in such sensitive spheres as food.
The Russian leader said, this is a serious thing that will have an impact on the entire system of economic and political relations. He lambasted the West for seizing Russian reserves, saying that the theft of others’ assets never brought any good.The Russian president stated that sanctions and restrictions aimed primarily at weakening and containing countries wishing to pursue independent policies are ultimately futile. "Many countries want and will pursue an independent policy...and no world policeman will be able to stop this global process... there will not be enough power for this and the desire to do so will evaporate due to a slew of domestic problems in those countries," Putin said.
