On May 26, President Vladimir Putin asserted that Western sanctions against Russia were disrupting its supply chains, but they would not succeed in cutting it off from technology. Speaking by video link to leaders of ex-Soviet states, Putin said Russia would keep working to find alternatives for imports no longer available to it. “Representatives of our businesses face problems, of course, especially in the field of supply chains and transport. Nevertheless, everything can be adjusted, everything can be built in a new way,” Putin declared.
