Russia’s state news agency TASS confirmed that Klepach “no longer holds the position of chief economist at VEB,” one of Russia’s largest banks, but did not give a reason for his departure. A new candidate has been selected and will be appointed soon, TASS added. → RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🇺🇸🇺🇦 The U.S. and Ukraine are sharing serious intel again.
