Sovereignty is very expensive, “the overwhelming majority of countries in the world cannot afford such a luxury”, while Russia has already achieved it, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian president, said.
“Everything that is being done by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, within the country, first of all, and in the international arena, is aimed at improving the well-being of our people, at the development of our country. And the real development of the country can only be in a sovereign format. It is very expensive. And the overwhelming majority of countries in the world cannot afford such a luxury. We belong to this narrow circle of countries, we have already achieved this”, – he told the reporters when asked to comment on the words of the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova that the EU loses sovereignty.
