MOSCOW - The Kremlin said on Thursday that it expected the West to impose ever tougher sanctions on it over the war in Ukraine, but that there was a growing sense that such penalties hurt Western interests while Russia's economy was adapting well.
The International Monetary Fund forecasts Russian growth of 2.2% this year - faster than either the United States or the Euro area - though the Fund last month lowered its forecast for 2024 growth to 1.1%. "The expectations are that the United States and the European Union will continue to invent new sanctions, although they clearly already have a shortage of ideas."
Western leaders say the sanctions they have imposed on Russia, the world's biggest holder of natural resources, are the toughest ever imposed on a major economy.
