The Russian economy is adequately coping with the sanctions, but the situation is “difficult” and requires special efforts from the economic bloc of the government, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko.

“The Russian economy withstands the sanctions blow, it withstands very worthily,” Putin said.

According to him, "all the main macroeconomic indicators" speak about this.

“Yes, of course, everything is not easy. Everything that is happening requires special attention and special efforts from the economic bloc of the government,” the president continued.

However, he added, in general, "these efforts have a positive effect," which is also reflected "in the level of trade" between RUSSIA and Belarus.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called these sanctions illegal. Russia responded by banning top US officials from entering, converting gas payments into rubles, and announcing a number of other measures against unfriendly countries. In turn, Deputy HEAD of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warned that due to sanctions against Russia, the world could face logistical, energy, financial and food crises, new regional conflicts and the intensification of terrorists. According to him, as a result, "new international alliances of countries based on pragmatic, rather than ideological Anglo-Saxon criteria" may also appear.
