The president noted that the country has the record for number of sanctions imposed on it<\/p>\n
The West\u2019s attempts to punish Russia through sanctions have completely failed, President Vladimir Putin said in an address to the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday.
\nHe noted that Russia has become the record holder in the number of sanctions placed on it. Nevertheless, the country has demonstrated incredible resilience, Putin said.
\n\u201cYou know how much effort our opponents have expended in recent years to push Russia out of the global system, to drive us into political, cultural, and informational isolation, and economic autarky,\u201d Putin said, adding that \u201cthere is no need to explain to anyone that these efforts have utterly failed.\u201d
\nThe president added that the pressure would normally be enough to break not only a country, but an entire coalition of nations, expressing pride in Russia, its people, and the military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
