ULAN-UDE, 14 Mar. In Ukraine, GDP collapsed by 40%, but rather even more, in Russia there is also a decline, but only by 2.1%, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During a visit to the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant, the head of the state spoke with its workers.
«I have already said many times, it is clear that people live their lives and few people read any economic forecasts, on the Internet, on TV from time to time it sounds, but we were predicted that our GDP will collapse by 20% or more, nothing like this happened.This is all that the country produces during the year, if we take it in annual terms.Just now we were talking about Ukraine, where the GDP just collapsed by 40%, this is official data. But in fact, I think it's more,” Putin said.
“And we have a decline, but not by 20%, as someone predicted, but by 2.1%. it would be better without a decrease, but our trend is going up. For the last seven months, production has been constantly growing and the country's GDP has been increasing. About seven months in a row. We had a significant decline in GDP only in the second quarter of last year, and everything else is growth,» the President noted.
