Former top Kremlin economic advisor Sergei Guriev says Western sanctions are working but warned that the billions Putin still gets will be used to kill Ukrainians. The Russian economist, who fled Moscow in 2013, says the price cap on Russian oil appears to be working, meaning less money for the Kremlin to buy military technology from third countries like India, China and Turkey. But while Russian technocrats are working to keep the economy afloat, “they help Putin to continue destroying Russia's future.” Asked about whether Putin has changed his long-term goals, Guriev, now a professor at Sciences Po in Paris, says the president has always been corrupt: “He's not an empire builder - he's more of a palace builder.” #russia #ukrainewar #putin Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:51 Sarah Kelly welcome 01:08 How long can Putin hold on & fund war? 01:40 Frozen central bank assets vs. oil & gas revenue 02:10 Impact of economic sanctions on battlefield, artillery production 02:40 Classified economic data 03:00 Military technology from third countries: Turkey, India, China, Kazakhstan, & Emirates 04:20 Macroeconomic instability, Russian GDP 04:56 Way of Iran or Venezuela 05:45 Russian recession and decline 06:30 Bureaucrats and alleged Russian war crimes 07:20 Immorality and funding Putin´s war machine to kill Ukrainians & Russia´s future 08:02 Russian businessmen “suicides“ 08:20 Murder of Boris Nemtsov, attempted assassination of Alexsei Navalny 09:10 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on isolation of Moscow, China, Xi Jinping, Global South 09:45 Syria, Eritrea, Nicaragua supporting Russia 10:07 “Friendship without limits“ would be weapons without limits and cash without limits 10:20 Russia buys munitions from North Korea and Iran, not China 10:40 Ambassador Fu Cong on rhetoric vs reality 11:35 Western price cap on Russian oil and India 12:45 Bakhmut and Russian domestic stability 13:25 Predicting mass protests and riot police joining them in Russia 14:46 Personal choice to leave Russia in 2013 16:10 e Ilya Yashin, who didn't leave and Vladimir Kara-Murza imprisoned 16:27 Dimitry Peskov on travel restrictions 16:56 Very few happy people in Russia´s inner circle and ICC warrants 18:05 Putin Cold War speech to Bundestag 18:40 Black Sea palace builder, not empire builder 19:50 Putin´s COVID isolation 20:45 His initial social contract growth and corruption vs democracy and checks & balances 22:14 When he´s gone the system will have to change 23:00 New Perestroika or North Korean style repression 23:15 He bet everything he had on war in Ukraine 23:53 Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague, 24:00 Peace requires returning all occupied territory, borders of 1991, pay reparations and send war criminals to tribunals, Russian anti-war committee 25:00 Lessons from post-WWII Germany Subscribe: For more news go to: Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: ►Twitter: ►Instagram: ►Twitch: Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie:
