NOVO OGARYOVO (outside Moscow), September 22 (RIA Novosti) - Russian banks should continue working in Ukraine despite current difficulties because their exit from the country would hurt Ukrainian economy, President Vladimir Putin said Monday.
"The work, without doubt, should continue. Primarily, because Russian banks make 30 percent of the Ukrainian banking sector, and if we suspend our work, it would be an additional, serious hit at the Ukrainian economy," Putin said at a meeting with the head of Russia's VTB bank, Andrei Kostin.
The president stressed that Russia was interested in having a reliable and a stable partner.
