Putin SPIEF Plenary LIVE | PUTIN'S ULTIMATUM: Russian President Addresses Global Economic Summit

Описание: Putin SPIEF Plenary LIVE | PUTIN'S ULTIMATUM: Russian President Addresses Global Economic Summit
ST. PETERSBURG — Russian President Vladimir Putin addresses the high-stakes plenary session of the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2026) alongside Uzbekistani President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, and Chinese Vice President Han Zheng. Dubbed the 'Russian Davos', the flagship business summit takes place under the shadow of escalating tensions, following brazen Ukrainian drone strikes that hit nearby energy and military facilities, blanketing the city in black smoke. As the Kremlin attempts to project economic stability, Putin is set to confront deep-seated domestic challenges, including high inflation, severe labor shortages, two-decade-high borrowing costs, and a ballooning budget deficit. The address comes immediately after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's open letter proposing an immediate frontline ceasefire. With Saudi Arabia participating as the guest of honor, and controversial Western figures in attendance, Putin's address outlines Russia's aggressive economic pivot to the Global South, strategic partnerships with China, and a defiant rejection of Western sanctions.
