“Western countries are not only taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic area. I'm speaking about the illegitimate sanctions that everyone is well aware of. However, the top officials of the leading #NATO countries also make aggressive statements against our country as well,” Putin stated.

On the one hand, this shows that the #invasion is probably not going so well, but also that the sanctions have hit the Russian #economy harder than expected.
