Peskov: Sanctions Could Lead To Collapse Of Russian Economy

Putin's speaker complained about the "unprecedented burden of sanctions."

There was a threat of economic collapse in Russia due to the unprecedented burden of sanctions. However, the situation was allegedly stabilized thanks to the mobilization of resources and decisions of the country's leadership, according Dmitry Peskov, the speaker of the Russian president, who gave an interview to propagandist Pavel Zarubin. The propagandist showed a fragment of the interview on Telegram.

“There was a threat of collapse. And indeed, we had to mobilize all resources and internal forces to prevent this collapse,” said the speaker. “At first, the initial task was to prevent a collapse, because, indeed, an absolutely unprecedented burden of these sanctions fell on the economy. And no country in the world has ever faced, and, theoretically, no country in the world can withstand such a blow,” he said.
