Our partners should not set task of pushing Russia out of world economy - Putin

MOSCOW. Feb 24 (Interfax) - Russia's foreign partners should not set the task of pushing it out of the global economic system, President Vladimir Putin said.

"We are not going to inflict damage on the system of world economy that we ourselves are in. It seems to me, our partners should understand this and not set themselves the task of pushing us out of this system," Putin told Russian business representatives on Thursday.
