MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Western sanctions against his country could backfire.
Speaking in an interview with German ARD television broadcast Saturday as he was attending the Group of 20 summit in Brisbane, Australia, Putin said that cutting Russian access to capital markets would hurt Western exports.
“If the resources of our financial institutions are cut off, they can extend fewer loans to the Russian companies that work with German partners,” he said. “Sooner or later, it will begin to affect you as much as us.”
He also said the sanctions could hurt some Russian banks, leading them to demand repayment of multibillion loans they have given to Ukraine, damaging its economy. Putin cited Russia’s state-controlled Gazprombank, which he said issued loans worth $3.2 billion to Ukraine before being hurt by Western sanctions that barred it from borrowing in capital markets.
