“First of all, those who are going to introduce them should think about the consequences of these sanctions. In the modern world, everything is interconnected and everyone depends on each other, you can harm someone, but it will be mutual damage,” he said.
Putin commented on the fall in the exchange rate of the ruble and the value of Russian shares. He believes that the beginning of this process began even before the conflict in Crimea.
