Ordinul lui Putin. Un bancher moscovit de rang înalt, concediat după un discurs dur despre economia Rusiei • Newsweek România

A senior Russian banker was dismissed after criticizing the country's economic situation, warning of a looming social crisis and the futility of a prolonged economic war with Ukraine. Andrei Klepach, chief economist at VEB, highlighted Russia's economic lag behind China and the U.S., contradicting Putin's claims of economic resilience. His comments led to his firing, reportedly at the Kremlin's order, reflecting the regime's demand for loyalty among officials. Experts believe Klepach's departure will not prevent the impending crisis he warned about.
