Ximo Puig, President of the Valencian Community has called Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine a `terrible blow’ to the region’s post-pandemic economy.
Russian tourism has been a staple part of the local economy for many years and the other concern is the effect any on-going conflict will have on the export of fruits. During the press conference Puig also told reporters that he was worried about continued rises in raw materials, gas and fuel prices.
