YEKATERINBURG, July 8. /TASS/. Almost all sectors of the Russian economy are growing, despite Western sanctions and this success is the best response to the initiators of anti-Russian restrictions, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at the Innoprom exhibition.

"Despite the unprecedented sanctions, almost all sectors are showing steady progress. These figures are the best response to all who initiated and introduced anti-Russian bans and restrictions. On the contrary, these countries are facing significant reductions in industrial production," he said.
