MOSCOW, January 1 The Russian economy is now functioning steadily, there is inflation, but everything is under control, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
«We won back the fall (GDP — ed.) and moved forward. This is an absolutely fundamental question. This indicates that the economy is functioning steadily. Our inflation has risen a little, that is, prices have risen. But everything is under control, everything is under control,” Putin said on Monday at a meeting with participants in a special military operation.
