MOSCOW, 11 March (BelTA) - Russia and Belarus will overcome the difficulties in the wake of sanctions, Russian President Vladimir Putin said as he met with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in Moscow on 11 March, BelTA has learned.
"We have always faced attempts to limit our development, to restrain it. These attempts are being made now. Today they are larger, it's obvious. But I am sure that we will deal with these difficulties and will acquire more competencies, more opportunities to be self-reliant and independent. In the end, this will benefit us, as it was in previous years," Vladimir Putin is convinced.
