The stories about economic growth in Russia were probably false, their industrial output is stagnating, and for sure trade has been falling off a cliff for Russia.
We have surprisingly little reliable information on actual conditions, but I bet a normal Russian household economy is in steep decline. This is despite the war chest Putin had build up to bolster Russia in this situation. And production is now sliding despite heavy government industrial investments due to the war.
So when Putin claims all is well, the west is only hurting themselves, he is obviously lying, in a typical propaganda attempt to demoralize Ukraine and the west.
