Russia's Medvedev says sanctions will not hurt
MOSCOW - Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev shrugged off sanctions over Moscow's annexation of Crimea, saying even if the West imposes more punitive measures, companies that want to work in Russia will not be deterred, Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday.
"Everything will be fine," Medvedev was quoted as saying when asked how cooperation with foreign oil and gas companies would be affected if Western nations broaden sanctions against Russia.
"Those who want to work with us in any area, whether it is science, production, investment in our economy - they aren't going anywhere, because this is a completely normal process," he was quoted as saying. (Reuters)
