Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that soon Russia will exceed the level that has been reached in the DPRK - the toughest dictatorship in the world

He said this at a briefing.

Kuleba stressed that the reaction to Russian aggression not only by foreign governments but also by Western business has already become painful for Russia.

"A domino effect followed. This is only the beginning of suffering and painful losses for Russia. Russia will learn what real isolation is. 113 giant companies have already left Russia, 213 large companies have partially or completely stopped cooperation with Russian partners", he said.

Kuleba assured that this pressure would grow. He is not satisfied with the level of sanctions imposed by Visa and MasterCard payment systems.

"Some loopholes for work remain ... We will put pressure on Visa and Mastercard so that they completely stop working in Russia", the minister said.

He made an announcement on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of those companies that are in no hurry to stop working in the Russian Federation. The Foreign Ministry is counting on the opening of the internal front by Russian citizens due to the draconian restrictions imposed in the Russian Federation.

"It's becoming impossible to live in Russia, and not because of the war... North Korea at such a pace will turn into a territory of freedom compared to Russia", Kuleba said.

Since the end of the week, Russia has been criminally punished for 15 years for truthful reports about the war in Ukraine, if they differ from the line of Russian propaganda.

"Hundreds of thousands of Russians do not want to live like this. We are already seeing anti-war demonstrations", the Foreign Minister added.
