Putin admits Russia's economy is failing - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD



Vladimir Putin can't hide Russia's economic failings anymore. After months of propaganda boasting “stability,” the Kremlin leader finally admitted that July's 0.4% GDP growth is “insufficient” – and demanded “higher rates.” But here's the truth: Russia's war economy is collapsing under its own weight. Billions are being funneled into the military-industrial complex and endless repairs instead of real investments. Watch Benjamin Lee in this latest episode of Break the Fake to find out why the Kremlin's economy seems to be on life support and why Putin's promises won't save Russia's future.
