Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on Monday morning that Vladimir Putin was preparing a very important speech at the plenary session of the upcoming St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which will take place on 15. 18.
Peskov noted that sanctions imposed on Russia had affected energy and food prices. According to him, the mistakes of Western countries are reflected in the beginning of the food crisis.
The representative of the Kremlin noted that it is impossible not to talk about it, so Vladimir Putin will talk about it. “Of course, his speech at the forum will be extremely important this year,” & ndash; Peskov stressed.
The head of the presidential press service added that this year the economy has become a hostage to politics. At the same time, the world is paying for the mistakes that politicians in many countries made during the coronavirus. This was exacerbated by the economic war that began against Russia. And this war, Peskov noted, is returning to Western countries with a boomerang.
The SPIEF plenary session with Putin's participation will take place on June 17.
