Our country is strong and no matter who exerts pressure on us, we will continue to live in our favourite country, develop it, invest money in the improvement of our state,” the prime minister said, answering a question on sanctions of the West.

“Power politics against our country has never been effective. You know this very well. So it will fail now as well,” Medvedev said.
