Russian President Vladimir Putin expects the war in Iran to end in the next three or four weeks, and therefore urged Russian businessmen not to become complacent with the increase in profits at the expense of the conflict, as it is temporary, the head of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of Russia, Alexandr Shojin, reported on Thursday. Shojin added that Putin recommended to businessmen and the Ministry of Finance not to rely on the stage of large profits at the cost of the conflict, as it will not be long-lasting. Putin met for two hours with a number of Russian businessmen, such as Vladimir Potanin (President of Norilsk Nickel), Vladimir Yevtushenkov (AFK Sistema), Andrei Kostin (VTB Bank) and Alexander Dyukov (Gazprom Neft).
