President Vladimir Putin said that foreign companies that refuse to cooperate with Russia are hurting themselves. According to the president, this will benefit Russia – the country will acquire “additional competencies.”
“If someone does not want to cooperate with us within the framework of a single cooperation and harms himself in this way, he will, of course, harm us too. But in what? We will just have to move some projects a little to the right, acquire additional competencies,” the president said during the flag-raising ceremony on the new Russian ferry Marshal Rokossovsky.
“We will still solve the tasks that are before us, and moreover, we will even benefit from this, because, as I said earlier, we will acquire additional competencies,” he added.
Many Western companies have announced that they are leaving the Russian market due to sanctions and the military operation in Ukraine.
About the ninth day of the military operation in Ukraine – in the online broadcast “Kommersant”.
