Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday accused the West of waging an unrelenting economic war on Russia, claiming its 28,595 sanctions represent a “mechanism of systemic, strategic pressure” aimed at weakening the country’s capabilities. In a speech to the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Putin warned that Western elites have abandoned any “semblance of decency,” relentlessly imposing restrictions while Europe, having “lost its sovereignty,” suffers near-zero growth or recession. He dismissed Western trade norms as obsolete, saying they were upheld “only when beneficial” to the West, and cautioned that European courts and legal mechanisms have “completely fallen asleep,” offering no refuge for investors. Putin contrasted Russia’s resilience with Europe’s decline, urging businesses to brace for ongoing hostility as sanctions remain a permanent fixture of global rivalry.
