Russia is currently under pressure of endless sanctions of unfriendly countries but is coping with them unnervingly, President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday at the meeting of judges of arbitration, military, and common jurisdiction courts.

“We are living under the constant pressure from abroad – I mean all these endless sanctions,” the President said. “As we all see, we are passing through all these sanctions with a cool head,” Putin noted.

The response to unfriendly acts of foreign countries and their attempts to ruin the Russian economy “can only be the expansion of the sphere of freedom and protection from the side of law enforcement authorities on the whole and the judicial system in particular,” the head of state added.
