Pres. Vladimir Putin hosted the Moscow Economic Meeting this weekend to shed some light on the country's economy. In typical Russyan fashion, the numbers related to the economy were deemed secret, thus being unavailable. Ho-hum. Ol' Vlad(Vova) mentioned the sanctions imposed by the evil "West" but said they were not effective. He mentioned growth that could be above 3.3 % this year, which he claimed was an improvement over last year.
He lambasted Ukraine Pres. Volodimir Zelensky, and said he was a "bad" Jew, and he would fail to defeat the Russyan army in the field. He aslo restated his belief that certain Ukrainians collaborated with the Nazis during WW II. This he said was an attempt to destroy Russya, even then. He also stated that the Russyan Parliament, a collection of bureaucrats who serve only Putin, would be requiring income taxes from those Russyans who have fled the country and continue to work abroad. These individuals will now have to decide where they want to live: in or out.
Additionally, information has come out that army recruiters are not meeting their quotas. Over 200,000 Russyans have have left the country to avoid conscription. This has also caused certain tech industries jobs to go begging. Unemployment has dropped to 3+%, leaving many many vacancies across the largest country in the world. As the summer offensive continues in Ukraine, more casualties will be counted and more burials will take place in Russya. Mr. Putin doesn't have a lot of time left before resentment bubbles up to the surface. He actually appears to have suffered a health crisis. The facial expressions look as though he could have COPD or worse. At his age, anything could happen over night.
No representatives of Western nations were invited to the Moskva Conference. Why bother to ask.
