The external pressure did not weaken, but expanded; The West began to impose sanctions on representatives of foreign states, foreign companies and organizations that did not refuse to cooperate with our country, noted in the government’s annual report to the State Duma.
“Despite increasing pressure, Russia has successfully overcome the difficult initial adaptation period,” said the head of government. According to preliminary estimates by Rosstat, last year the country’s GDP increased by 3.6%, more than double the average for developed countries. This ratio, Mishustin noted, was one of the consequences of the sanctions, which inevitably affected the economy of those who initiated them.
