How long can Vladimir Putin afford to continue his war in Ukraine without inflicting economic pain on his own people? The narrative around Russia’s economic performance could hardly be more polarized. One camp claims the country is on the brink of collapse, the other that it is stronger than ever, buoyed even by the effect of Western sanctions. With state spending on defense now exceeding investment in sectors like education and health, some analysts are predicting a painful economic hangover after the war ends. DW Business speaks to Alexandra Prokopenko from the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, who formerly worked as an advisor to the Russian central bank.

Good interview. I'm glad the interviewer didn't interrupt the answers.

Said it before, but I'll say it again: DW really is streets ahead of the British and especially American news media. Yet another DW host who asks intelligent questions and gives the interviewee plenty of space to answer fully. A complete contrast to the likes of the extreme poor quality and superficial questioning from the likes of the BBC, asking the same dummed-down questions of every guest, jumping in with the next dumb question before the guest has finished the first sentence of their reply. Well done DW!

Absolutely brilliant to hear such an expert on Russia

I have a simple minded way of thinking about this. Being largely cut of from roughly 50% of the world economy can't be a good thing economically.

TBH DW has been a goldmine in regards to interview and choices of guests. I live in france, and the media here is so clogged with useless "experts" and useless debates with no shape or form. Thank you for being actual new. It's refreshing.
