Putin: ‘No one can create problems for us’

The traditional meeting in the Kremlin on the occasion of the New Year has been reformatted in an informal workshop for this time in connection with the mourning days.

Therefore, the Russian President refused from the usual words of congratulations, focusing on the real issues. He stressed that the conditions were more complicated in 2016 than in the previous one. But the result was even better by the end of this year.

Putin said in a statement: “No one can create such problems for us, which we would be unable to overcome and, importantly, we are working successfully. The only thing I want to stress is that we worked tensely and we worked successfully. And we just spoke at a Security Council meeting that the outgoing year was even more complex to some extent in solving social and economic problems than the previous year”.

Some experts and analysts have already considered this message as not only for those, who was in the hall, but for many foreign colleagues.
