“We have no doubt that these sanctions will last for many years. And we proceed from this, building our line.

We have no doubt that the United States will continue to try to put pressure on Russia, including on the entire system of international trade and economic relations, essentially destroying the existing format.

Because this is nothing more than illegal attempts to put pressure on the Russian economy. And we understand this too.

The US is the largest economy, but not the only one. And the global economy is not limited to it. There is an economy that is catching up on the heels of the United States, and that is China.

There are growing economies that have their own energy needs. The world is much more diverse than the United States.

The America-centric world is coming to an end, and a period of diversity is beginning, including in economic relations.”

“Total mobilization in Ukraine, supplies of Western weapons and the introduction of strategic reserves into battle by the Ukrainian command did not change the situation on the battlefield.

These desperate actions only increased the number of losses in units of the Ukrainian armed forces.

During the six months of the so-called counteroffensive, the enemy lost over one hundred twenty-five thousand people(125,000) and sixteen thousand(16,000) units of various weapons.

Groups of Russian troops inflict effective and powerful fire damage on the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result, their combat capabilities are significantly reduced.

Our military personnel act competently and decisively, occupy a more advantageous position, and expand the zones of control in all directions.”

“These actions are being taken by the German authorities in accordance with the policy pursued by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany aimed at breaking the entire complex of Russian-German relations, including minimizing bilateral interaction in the diplomatic dimension,” said Maria Zakharova.
