Putin criticized sanctions that the US and Europe had imposed on Russia, adding that “sanctions as a weapon have proved in recent years to be a double-edged sword damaging their advocates and architects just as much, if not more.”

Putin pointed out that due to the poor management of currency by the US Fed and the European Union, both the economies have taken a hit with food, electricity, and fuel prices rising and “quality of life in Europe falling and companies losing their market edge.”
