The latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ features an in-depth interview with Russia’s Minister of Finance, Anton Siluanov. He spoke about how Russia is adapting to Western sanctions, noting that the country’s economy is growing at a rate higher than the global average. Real incomes are on the rise, and business investments are increasing.
Siluanov also addressed the exit of Western companies from Russia, saying their operations have been successfully taken over by Russian entrepreneurs. He emphasized that Moscow remains open to foreign businesses returning, provided that they’re ready to compete on fair terms.
According to the minister, the sanctions have actually accelerated Russia’s push to develop its own technologies, allowing the country to become more self-sufficient. He also outlined Russia’s shift toward trading with friendly nations, such as China, India, and other BRICS countries.
Rick Sanchez, a renowned journalist and recipient of both Emmy and Peabody awards, joined RT after leaving US media over concerns about censorship. Now, based in Moscow, he continues to challenge Western narratives.
