Un important bancher rus a fost concediat după ce a spus că economia Rusiei rămâne în urmă „în anumite privințe, față de Ucraina”

A prominent Russian banker was dismissed after stating that Russia's economy lags behind Ukraine in certain aspects. Andrei Klepach, chief economist at VEB, made these remarks during a speech in May, highlighting economic challenges faced by Russia. His comments contradicted official narratives about Russia's economic resilience and the expected collapse of Ukraine's economy. Klepach warned of a potential social crisis in Russia due to the ongoing war and stated that a prolonged economic conflict with Ukraine would not lead to victory for Russia. His dismissal is believed to be linked to his critical assessments of the country's economic situation.
