Vladimir Putin held the final meeting with the current Government

As per Article 116 of the Russian Constitution, the cabinet of ministers disclaims duties in front of the President-elect.

Vladimir Putin thanked Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and the ministers for their efficient work that led the country through the Covid-19 pandemic and helped it withstand the foreign economic aggression launched against Russia in 2022.

The numerous sanctions had one primary goal <…> of destroying Russia from within, politically and especially economically. The sanctions were to create problems in work teams, cause mass unemployment in the country, and shut down companies and entire industries. Our opponents failed completely. In fact, they achieved the opposite outcome. Last year, the Russian economy grew faster than the global economy.

A parade to commemorate the 79th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War took place in Red Square

The West would love to forget the lessons of WWII, but we remember that the fate of humankind was decided in the colossal battles of Moscow, Leningrad, Rzhev, Stalingrad, Kursk, Kharkov, Minsk, Smolensk and Kiev, and in the heavy and bloody fighting from Murmansk to the Caucasus to the Crimea.
<…>
Let me emphasise: Russia has never belittled the significance of the Second Front or of Allied assistance. We honour the valor of all members of the Anti-Hitlerite Coalition, the Resistance, the underground movement and guerrillas, as well as the courage displayed by the peoples of China fighting for their independence after militarist Japan's agression. We will forever remember and we will never forget our joint struggle and the inspiring traditions of alliance.

As for bilateral relations, they are developing rather successfully. We always look at economic cooperation first and foremost. Last year, trade grew quite substantially, mainly due to the increase in imports, or, from your perspective, in Armenian exports to Russia. Our trade volume climbed over $7 billion.
