The official wrote on his Telegram channel that the World Bank has just moved Russia from the category of upper-middle-income countries to that of high-income countries, and this change in categorization demonstrates how ineffective the anti-Russia sanctions have been.

“The Western measures against Russia have turned out to be a complete fiasco for their promoters,” Ulyanov summarized.

Previously, the World Bank had published a document indicating that each resident in Russia has a gross income of 14,250 dollars a year.

The Bank classifies as high-income countries those states where this indicator is set at a minimum of 13,845 dollars.
