Russia Will Move Forward on Its Own Path, Not Isolating from Anyone: Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin assured participants of the Future Technologies Forum that Russia will continue to develop technologically and move forward, despite the technological blockade from some countries' ruling elites.

“We have faced pressures, they are trying to force us to abandon our sovereignty through restrictions on access to technologies, and the right to choose our own historical path... Our opponents hoped that we would retreat, that we would surrender. But that will not happen, as we often say in such cases. Russia will only move forward, and moreover, on its own path, while not isolating itself from anyone,” announced Putin.

He also outlined future challenges in the field of technology development, including the creation of a national project for forming a data-driven economy.
