Putin admits Russia's economy is failing - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD [View all]



Vladimir Putin can't hide Russia's economic failings anymore.

Watch Benjamin Lee in this latest episode of Break the Fake to find out why the Kremlin's economy seems to be on life support and why Putin's promises won't save Russia's future.
