Putin talks about the West’s ‘impossible’ mission

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed, on Monday, that his country will act and overcome the sanctions imposed on it, because it is impossible to erect a “giant fence” to isolate Russia.

In statements to the Russian “Interfax” news agency, he said, “It is clear that this will be a great challenge for our country… (But we) definitely will not give up. On the contrary, even when we realize the huge amount of difficulties that await us, we will work hard and efficiently to Finding new solutions.

It is worth noting that EU foreign ministers said today during their meeting in Brussels that there should be no doubt about their commitment to the sanctions imposed on Russia, despite rising tensions due to high energy prices in Europe.
