Putin: Russia does not want to undermine global economic system

Putin says his country wants to remain part of the world economy and has no plans to harm it.

“Russia remains part of the world economy,” Putin tells a meeting of big businesses after he ordered troops to invade Ukraine.

“We are not going to damage the world economic system which we are part of,” he says, adding he also does not want Russia to be excluded from the international economic community.

“It seems to me that our partners should understand this and not set themselves the task of pushing us out of this system,” he adds.
