STORY: Russian President Vladimir Putin does not believe that Russia has suffered from the war in Ukraine. He said this at an economic meeting in Vladivostok on Wednesday. “I’m sure we haven’t lost anything and we won’t lose anything. In terms of gains, I can say that the main gain is strengthening our sovereignty – that’s the inevitable result of what’s happening now. Yes, of course one will find one “There is a certain polarization taking place, both in the world and within the country. I think this is for the best. Everything unnecessary, harmful and everything that prevents us from moving forward will be abandoned; we will gain momentum, and the pace of development will increase. Modern development can only be achieved through sovereignty. All the steps we take are aimed at strengthening our sovereignty.” Putin also announced that he would reconsider the agreement on grain deliveries from Ukraine via the Black Sea. Currently, a large part of the grain goes to the EU and Turkey and not to poorer countries as planned, Putin said. The delivery route must be reconsidered. He wants to discuss this with his Turkish counterpart Erdogan.
