White House admits Russian economy proves resilient despite sanctions

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the Russian economy has proved resilient despite the sanctions imposed on the country. Sullivan talked about this in an interview to Fox News.

“It is true that the Russian economy has, in terms of its war machine, been resilient, and we need to keep chipping away at it. We have got to be relentless,” he said in response to the journalist’s request to comment on the media reports saying that the Russian economy in 2023 outpaced both the U.S. and Europe in terms of growth, increasing in size by 3.6%.

Sullivan reiterated that the U.S. and its allies intend to keep working patiently and painstakingly to impose new sanctions against Russia.
