MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the most pressing issues of politics and economy during the 22nd Congress of the United Russia Party, which was held in Moscow on Saturday.
Russia's confrontation with opponents involves not only the fighting on the battlefield but also all other areas of public life, such as culture, education and the economy, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

"[The battlefield] occurs not only along the front line. Indeed, this global and decisive confrontation affects all aspects of our lives, including culture, education, worldviews, the economy and technology," Putin stressed.

At the same time, the president emphasized that the country’s development and economic growth continue despite unprecedented sanctions. He added that attempts at blackmail and external interference will never achieve their goals.

"Russia is developing, the economy is growing, and all this amid the unprecedented sanctions in the full sense of this word, in the literal sense of this word, in the world history, gross interference and pressure from the ruling elites of some states. But no blackmail and external attempts to interfere with us will ever result in anything," Putin explained.

According to the president, Russia has undergone a qualitative transformation in recent years and now has a future-focused development agenda.
"The country has undergone a qualitative transformation during this time. That's the main point. The resources of the state, society and business have substantially increased, and our development agenda has become truly comprehensive, systematic and strategic, looking to the future for decades to come. We have such an opportunity," Putin underscored.
The president also mentioned that Russia is a unique and original civilization, and its people, with their diverse inner qualities, have been united and will be united.

"We want to preserve and pass on the image of the country that we are creating to our descendants. The perception that we are a unique and original civilization, a multi-national and multi-confessional people, who, despite our internal diversity, have been united and will continue to be united," Putin noted, adding that Russia is self-confident and understands its rightfulness and strength.
