Pressure on Russia's Military Technical Cooperation Partners Has Increased: Putin

During a meeting on military technical cooperation, Russian President Vladimir Putin made several key statements. He noted, "The pressure from the West on partners in Russia's military technical cooperation has increased, but export contracts have been consistently fulfilled." He added, "Income from military technical cooperation has exceeded $15 billion. Russia has established a robust portfolio of new export orders for military technology last year. We have laid the groundwork that will allow us to expand the geography and scope of military supplies. According to forecasts, the volume of military exports will significantly increase by 2026."
