Pooty Poot says Russia will emerge from sanctions stronger

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said the country would emerge stronger from the sanctions that Western governments have imposed over its war on Ukraine.

"These sanctions would have been imposed in any case," Putin said during a Russian government meeting. "There are some questions, problems and difficulties but in the past we have overcome them and we will overcome them now.

"In the end, this will all lead to an increase in our independence, self-sufficiency and our sovereignty," Putin added, according to Reuters.

Putin reiterated his claim that he had no option but to invade Ukraine. Last month, the Russian leader claimed that he was "forced" to invade, citing what he referred to as Western "intransigence" to Russia's security concerns.
