During the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin steered clear of discussing the Ukraine conflict. Instead, he delved into the importance of the defense industry in Russia's economy and the need for technological advancements in both civilian and defense sectors.
Putin emphasized the significance of incorporating combat experience into the development of future weapons. Surprisingly, the ongoing war against Ukraine did not dominate his nearly hour-long speech.
Moreover, Putin suggested that Russia should collaborate with friendly states in developing defense projects, manufacturing weapons jointly, and training personnel in the future.
In conclusion, Putin seemed optimistic about Russia's economic growth. Despite warnings from Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov about the possibility of a recession, Putin reiterated the importance of preventing economic stagnation or recession.
Reshetnikov, on the other hand, expressed concerns about the Russian economy being on the brink of recession, attributing the financial hardships of many companies to high interest rates set by the central bank. However, Putin remained firm in his resolve to combat inflation and stimulate economic growth.
