Russia may have not yet reached the worst scenarios in economic and financial plans, said Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Pankin.
“We have always said that they are ready for any scenarios, including the worst in economic and financial terms. Perhaps we have not reached the worst scenarios. Although our partners tend to take large steps, and then roll back a bit, Understanding that they are not just shooting themselves in the leg, maybe somewhere higher, “said Pankin in an interview with the newspaper Izvestia.
Deputy Minister suggested that sanctions against Russia “not just a ricochet, and a sledgehammer hit our allies, the nearest economic and trading partners in the Eurasian space.”
Pankin expressed hope that despite all the difficulties, Russia will be able to survive. In his opinion, there are many tools that will help the country to advance in the economy – these are calculations in the National District, as well as the possibility of attracting regional development banks for financing.
