While Western countries can easily borrow money on international financial markets, Russia remains cut off from many of those markets due to sanctions. "Over the past several years, Putin has only been able to continue the war by significantly raising taxes," said Vladimir Milov, a Russian opposition politician and former Russian Deputy Energy Minister, in World Talks. According to Milov, Russia faces extremely high borrowing costs, investment levels are falling, and war spending is placing a growing burden on the country's economy. Join Marcin Zaborowski and his guest as they discuss Russia’s wartime economy, the growing fiscal pressures facing the Kremlin, the impact of sanctions on Moscow’s finances, and whether Russia can sustain its current level of military spending in the years ahead. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
