Putin Demands a Response from the Cabinet

Vladimir Putin is not happy with the economic growth rate in Russia. In connection with this, the Russian President demanded clarifications from the Cabinet at a meeting in the Kremlin.

The last time ordinary Russians saw their real incomes grow was in 2013. Russia is in year six of a slow impoverishment, a stretch we have not seen since the 1990s. President Putin’s approval rating, a measure that the Kremlin itself pays close attention to, today is not at its lowest, but, at 68 percent, it is far from its post-Crimea highs.

I apologize to the respected old-timers of this channel (from friends of my country), but I repeat once again: Mr. Putin pursues an effective foreign policy, which, of course, is approved by all of us (Russians) and our foreign friends - Russia should look strong, but strong it looks only from the outside, most of the country is trying to survive ECONOMICALLY.
