Loud Statement About Vladimir Putin Made in the United Kingdom

A loud statement about Vladimir Putin has been made in the United Kingdom:

The sanctions imposed by the West against Russia have made President Vladimir Putin stronger than ever before. These restrictions have been among the most ill-considered and ineffective decisions in modern history. This conclusion has been reached by columnist Simon Jenkins in an article for the British newspaper The Guardian.

“Russia has increased its exports to Asian countries, leading to an unprecedented surplus in its balance of payments, with the ruble becoming one of the strongest currencies in the world this year, having strengthened nearly 50% since January,” he wrote.

According to the author, the West has fallen into recession. Uncertainty has spread in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and the USA.
