MOSCOW, Aug 25 (PRIME) -- Russian budget’s energy and non-energy income grow despite problems created by the enemies and the envious, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

"Despite problems which our enemies and the envious are trying to create, the budget is replenished at the required rate, oil and gas, and, what is most pleasing, non-energy income has also increased by 24% lately, I think," Putin said.
