Moscow [Russia], August 21 (ANI/ Izvestia): After the imposition of sanctions by Western countries, Russia was able to raise its own production and agro-industrial complex to a high level. This was stated on August 21 by Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov in an interview with Kabar news agency.
"What changed when sanctions were imposed on Russia? On the contrary, after the sanctions, they were able to raise their own production and agriculture to a high level. The products that were previously imported are now being exported," he said.
