By the way, he previously called the situation in the global economy “an ideal systemic storm.” According to him, the coronavirus pandemic and the mistakes made by Western countries that unleashed an economic war against Russia led to it. “We are now seeing how all these restrictions, sanctions that have been imposed against the Russian Federation, are hitting prices for energy, food and so on. We see the results of the mistakes of many countries, which manifest themselves in the beginning of the food crisis. Of course, it is impossible not to talk about it, and I am sure that the president will talk about it,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

“On Thursday, on the eve of the main day, Putin will hold a face-to-face meeting on the development of the automotive industry. There will be representatives of large businesses associated with the automotive industry, there will be representatives of the government,” Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, June 14.
