When announcing the speech to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin addressed the issue of the withdrawal of capital from the country. According to the president, many of those who did this have now lost their life savings. At the same time, according to Putin, the citizens of the Russian Federation do not feel sorry for those who lost their savings in foreign banks.
None of the ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation regretted those who lost their accounts in foreign banks, lost their yachts. We remember both the privatization of the 90s and the demonstrative luxury
– said the Russian leader.
At the same time, the President of the Russian Federation stressed that the richest people in Russia, despite their loyalty to the West, will remain second-class people for him.
It’s time to realize that for the West, these people were and will remain second-rate foreigners, and the purchased titles of earl-peers will not help.
– said the President of the Russian Federation.
When announcing the Address to the Federal Assembly, Vladimir Putin reminded those who preferred to keep their capital abroad and who have now lost access to the funds he announced to them in 2002 on the possibility of freezing funds withdrawn abroad.
Tormented from swallowing dust, running around the courts to unlock them
said Vladimir Putin at the time.
By the way, economists predicted last spring that the West would freeze the funds of Russian oligarchs in European and American banks. Today, many experts say that Vladimir Putin’s statements twenty years ago turned out to be prophetic.
