ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Russia will consider sending weapons to adversaries of Western countries that supply arms to Ukraine, repeating a warning made days earlier.
Earlier, Putin said that the Russian economy is growing despite heavy international sanctions and the country has expanded economic ties with countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, as he sought to court investors at the forum. The event has been used by Russia for decades as a showcase for touting the country’s development, though Western officials and investors have steered clear of the session since sanctions cut off much of Russia’s trade with Western Europe, the U.S.
The main driver of Russia's economic growth is the fighting in Ukraine — now as important to the Kremlin economically as it is politically. Putin has heavily controlled his media appearances since sending his forces into Ukraine but he took questions Wednesday from international journalists, including some from Western countries he has criticized, on the sidelines of the forum.
