BLEAK ASSESSMENTS OF RUSSIAN ECONOMY CONTRADICT PUTIN’S ROSY CLAIMS
Russia’s central bank chief warned on Monday that the consequences of Western sanctions were only beginning to be felt, and Moscow’s mayor warned that 200,000 jobs were at risk in the Russian capital alone, stark acknowledgments that undermined President Vladimir V.
