According to him, the possibilities of Russian and Soviet equipment allegedly exceed the possibilities of the Western. Moreover, the sanctions "helped" the Russian Federation to increase the production of military equipment through import substitution.

The Kremlin head also accused the event of instability in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
