Demis pentru că a spus adevărul: Andrei Klepaş, economistul rus care a îndrăznit să spună că Moscova pierde războiul

The chief economist of VEB, Russia's second-largest bank, was dismissed after criticizing the economy's state. His warnings about an impending economic crisis and the unsustainable war expenditures displeased the Kremlin. Despite rising oil prices benefiting Russia, structural issues remain, and the budget deficit has significantly exceeded government targets. Putin shows no signs of reducing war efforts or spending, focusing instead on increasing taxes and pressuring oligarchs for more contributions.
