Putin says the West can’t send Russia back in time

On Monday (July 18), Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that it was impossible to block off Russia from the rest of the world, and that sanctions imposed by Western countries would not turn the clock back on Russia’s progress. Putin made these statements.

Since Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, it has been hit with a barrage of Western sanctions, designed to isolate it from the global economy. These sanctions have denied Russia access to goods such as commercial electronics, semiconductors, and aircraft parts. The goal of these sanctions is to cut Russia off from the global economy.
