Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Monday that Russia cannot be isolated because it is closely connected to the world and has many friends in it.
“We have many friends in the world. We appreciate and respect everyone. The fact that we have gathered together on this rostrum confirms once again that Russia cannot be isolated. We are closely connected with the world,” Mishustin said at the plenary session. The Innoprom exhibition is currently taking place in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.
Below are the most famous statements of the Prime Minister of Russia:
– Russia cannot be isolated, it is closely connected with the whole world and has many friends.
– Sanctions (against Russia) have fundamentally changed the existing system, and this requires Russia to build its technological sovereignty in a short time.
– In certain sectors of the Russian economy, there is a decline, but the decline has not reached a critical level.
The Russian economy is still in positive territory: GDP for 5 months (the first 5 months of 2022) grew by 0.5%, industrial production grew by almost 3%.
– Russia needs a strong fleet of ships, and shipyards will have to conduct a deep localization of the production of all types of ships.
– The Russian economy must move from a catch-up model of development to a pioneer one, as it is necessary to develop the domestic market and increase exports.
