Feb 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on
Tuesday that Western countries had imposed sanctions on Russia
to make its people "suffer" but that it had not succeeded in
defeating it on the economic front.
"They want to make the people suffer... but their
calculation did not materialise. The Russian economy and the
management turned out to be much stronger than they thought,"
Putin told lawmakers in a speech.
