Putin hits out at the West over sanctions, calling it the 'Empire of Lies'

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the West an "Empire of Lies" as he discussed the economy with top officials following the imposition of sweeping sanctions against Moscow.

Putin said: "Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and I discussed this topic, naturally bearing in mind the sanctions that the so-called Western community - as I called it in my speech, the 'empire of lies' - is now trying to implement against our country."
