Putin of Russia will introduce retaliatory sanctions if they are for the benefit of Russian producers. Dushanbe, September 12. / ITAR-TASS /. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agreed with the proposal to impose retaliatory sanctions only if they are for the benefit of Russian producers. If the government comes to the conclusion that such a steps correspond to the interests of our economy, then we will do it, - he told reporters. And if you just show his toughness, be sure to snap and suffer because of this damage, so we will not do, - he said. The government is now thinking about it, but if they (sanctions - ITAR-TASS) will be accepted, it is only in order to create better conditions for ourselves, - said the president. As an example, he cited the food embargo imposed by Russia earlier in response to the previous package sectoral sanctions by the EU, the USA and other countries. The President noted that this is the basic approach of the Russian Federation. And what specific steps will be and whether they will do, let the government think and make suggestions, - he said. It looks weird According to Putin, the new package of sanctions against Russia looks weird. He recalled that he recently proposed a settlement plan formed the basis of the peace agreements, then recorded at a meeting of the contact group in Minsk. And it should be noted with satisfaction that the process has started something, - he said, explaining that in the Ukraine ceased hostilities suspended offensive militias and Ukrainian army made their appropriate steps under the agreement: were moved in some places, multiple rocket launchers fire and artillery from populated areas, including that there was no opportunity to fire them. The peace process, began the first contact and, in my opinion, in the process, an opportunity to, at least temporarily, but to start a settlement by political means, - he said. Its all made positive in the situation, which is reflected in the south-east of Ukraine, - said the Russian president. Minsk agreement: the reaction in Russia and worldwide In this regard, Putin expressed his incomprehension, with associated new EU sanctions. I do not even know what the sanctions related to these immediate steps, - he said. Maybe someone does not like the fact that the process has begun on a peaceful scenario, - said Putin. Our Western partners brought the matter to the anti-constitutional coup, and then supported the punitive operation in the south-east, and now, when the situation gets out into the mainstream of peaceful settlement, efforts that aim, in fact, on the breakdown of the peace process, - he said. Why? - Expressed surprise at the Russian president. I can think of such a seditious thought, according to which Ukraine is something nobody cares, it is used simply as a tool to drive the international relations as a hostage of some participants in international life - he suggested. - For example, in order to revive the NATO not so much even as a military organization, and as an object of the key instruments of American foreign policy to unite around their Satellites, scare some external threat. And if this is so, it means that Ukraine was a hostage of someones interests, and it is bad practice - regretted it. In addition, some of the names in the sanctions lists cause confusion Putin, for example, the Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Peoples Republic of Donetsk Alexander Zaharchenko. The Russian president said that both the West and Kiev insisted on participating in peace talks senior officials and DNR LC, resulting in Zaharchenko really took part in them. Hes already otfiksirovan as negotiator, and he was taken and included in the list. Is that too (done - ITAR-TASS) as part of an attempt to undermine the peace process or what? - Surprised the head of state. Expanding the list will not bring harm Putin noted that Russia and Western countries can share lists of banned individuals, but he is opposed to such measures, and does not intend to respond to the same Western partners. We invite them - let them come to work, and we are not going to be closed from anyone, - he said. - This is not our choice, we do not go this way, but if someone does not want us to work, there is always an alternative - warned the President of the Russian Federation. Putin does not see any problem in that the number of officials hit the sanctions lists. The less our officials and leaders of large companies will be driving around somewhere on abroad, and more will be engaged in current affairs, the better, and the same goes for the State Duma, which often need to communicate with their constituents, and not somewhere warm belly some in foreign resorts , - he said.
