"The era of a unipolar world is over" - Putin on the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
Putin: "They [the West] believe that everything will be the same as before. It will not. These changes are fundamental and objective."
Putin: "Predictions about a crash of the Russian economy this spring were part of an information warfare campaign"
Putin: "The countries of the Eurozone do not engage in any Special Military Operations, and still the inflation has reached 20% in some of them. They did this to themselves, with their own hands."
Putin: "The European Union has lost its political sovereignty"
Putin: "I don't like talking about myself, but we hear this so often... 'Putin's inflation'. Who is this supposed to convince? People who cannot read or write?"
Putin: "This problem did not start three or four months ago. It has nothing to do with Russia. There is a danger of food shortages that could hit especially the poorest countries, and this will be fully the responsibility of the US administration & the European bureaucracy."
Putin: "The sanctions regime was built on the fradulent assumption that Russia is not economically sovereign. It appears that, planning their economic Blitzkrieg, they believed in their own propaganda about Russia's backwardness."
