President Vladimir Putin has proposed restricting exports of Russian metals, a response to Western economic sanctions, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. The proposal is currently an idea for officials to deliberate and not a definitive action.
Peskov clarified that the suggestion is not tied to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles. Instead, it aims to address the broader impact of sanctions on Russia's economy.
Putin's recommendation, stated on Wednesday, includes potentially limiting the export of key commodities such as uranium, titanium, and nickel.
