Putin lashes out over Western sanctions 'blitzkrieg,' claims Ukraine invasion was forced
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his hand was "forced" over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and claimed a "blitzkrieg" of Western economic sanctions had failed to undermine Russia's economy.
Putin said the "stupid" sanctions, which have barred Russian banks from international payments systems and led international businesses to exit the country in droves, were "doomed from the beginning," adding that the country remains open for business "with those who want it."
"The economic blitzkrieg against Russia was doomed from the beginning," Putin said Friday, according to a translation. Blitzkrieg describes a surprise attack of overwhelming force; a method widely associated with Nazi Germany in World War II.
"It is obvious that they have failed. It didn't happen, they didn't succeed," he said.
