Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, criticized Western leaders for their distorted views on the Russian economy, leading to sanctions backfiring on the West.
Medvedev recalled former US President Barack Obama’s statement in 2014 about the Russian economy being “in tatters,” highlighting the false narrative perpetuated by Western leaders.
Contrary to Western beliefs, Medvedev emphasized that the Russian economy is growing rather than declining, asserting that the sanctions have ultimately exposed the weakness of Europe as an economic entity.
The Russian official noted that these sanctions have returned to Europe as a boomerang, demonstrating the repercussions of Europe’s misguided perception of the Russian economy.
