According to Mehr News Agency, citing Sputnik, Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, announced on Sunday: Industrial production in Russia has increased compared with 2021, and its foreign debt amounts to only 2.6 percent of its gross domestic product.
The Russian President continued: The decline in industrial production in many European economies is a serious and undesirable matter. Germany's economic recession leads to a chain of negative consequences for the entire economy of the eurozone. Europe's decision to ban everything connected with Russia is a foolish approach.
Vladimir Putin added: Russia has never refused to supply energy to any party; it was the Europeans themselves who refused to receive Russian energy and cut themselves off from its market. Europe still receives a significant amount of energy from Russia.
He then added: The European Union is currently experiencing a migration crisis; they do not have the necessary resources to absorb all the migrants, and this leads to crisis.
