Putin’s elites plunder the Russian Federation, regime has taken about $2.5 trillion abroad

#Kanal13​ #likekanal13​ #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine - SUBSCRIBE TO US! Kremlin propagandist and “military expert“ Konstantin Sivkov has openly accused the Kremlin elites of plundering Russia. He claims that the regime has taken about $2.5 trillion abroad. He made the scandalous statement on the Russian TV channel “Red Line“. Sivkov explained the failure of the war against Ukraine by the fact that Putin’s elites plundered the army and the entire country. “ According to various estimates, between 1.5 and 2.5 trillion dollars were taken out of Russia. Think about what that is! To make it clear, that is about 50 annual budgets. Not just defense budgets, but military budgets, which include the Armed Forces, law enforcement agencies and special services. 50 annual budgets! That is what we should understand well ,“ the propagandist said. Sivkov did not name the people responsible for the plundering of Russia. However, he claims that these people are at the very top of the Russian government. “ It is absolutely clear that the people who took all this out, far from all left Russia... They sit in the highest echelon of influence on the government, and perhaps even in the government itself. Of course, they are capable of exerting serious influence. This is a very influential force, which exerts a very strong influence on the entire course of the “special operation“ and on the Russian economy ,“ the “military expert“ stated. Since Vladimir Putin rose to power in 1999, the quest to restore the might of the Russian state at home and abroad has been a hallmark of his rule. Yet another such hallmark has been rampant looting by the country’s leaders. Thus Russia has figured prominently in recent scholarly discussions about kleptocracies-regimes distinguished by a willingness to prioritize defending their leaders’ mechanisms of personal enrichment over other goals of statecraft. In a kleptocracy, then, corruption plays an outsized role in determining policy. Domestic and international scrutiny of kleptocracy is the most serious challenge that Putin’s system currently faces. During Putin’s first two terms as president, his administration was able to harness kleptocratic structures and tactics to project Russian power and influence on a global scale. But since Putin’s 2012 return to the presidency, maintaining this system amid swelling domestic criticism has necessitated greater levels of repression, and the shrinking economy has brought about increasingly visible divisions within the Russian elite. Internationally, kleptocracy now portends financial and political isolation. The longer Russia remains in thrall to corruption, the more isolated, poor, and authoritarian it is likely to become - click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism & #lastminutenewsfromukraine #kanal13ukraine Click here and just subscribe to Kanal13 - *ATTENTION: If you woul like to contact with US please, write to 49176 75077516 WhatsApp ▌▌►Website: Click & Subscribe to the main youtube Channel © KANAL13 [ Azərbaycanın ilk peşəkar internet televiziyası ] The First Internet TV of Azerbaijan Tags: #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen
