Putin is not acknowledging economic problems.

According to the expert, the president claims that "everything is fine in the economy," but avoids acknowledging that the real reason for this situation is the war.

In Aleksashenko's opinion, even if the Russian economy has slowed down, the government has enough funds to cover social and military expenditures.

He also emphasized that Russians have become accustomed to the sanctions and that a mood of discontent is not being observed in society.
