MOSCOW, September 18 (RIA Novosti) – The only purpose for imposing restrictions on imports from countries that sanctioned Russia is to defend national interests, Moscow does not plan to punish them or put pressure on anyone, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.
“In response [to Western sanctions] we introduced protective measures. I would like to stress that they were not caused by the intention to punish our partners or put pressure on them. We think about our own interests and development goals first,” Putin said.
