West to reckon with Russia's interests when it realizes futility of sanctions - Putin

MOSCOW. June 7 (Interfax) - The West will stop pressuring Russia when it realizes that the measures taken against it are futile, President Vladimir Putin said in his Q&A session on Thursday.

"The pressure will stop when our partners realize that their methods are inefficient, counterproductive, and harmful for everyone. They will have to reckon with Russia's interests," Putin said.
