Russia's Putin to address weak economy, global challanges at Russia's flagship economic forum

Russia's President Vladimir Putin is to speak at the flagship investment forum in Saint Petersburg. Alongside him at the key pannel session on Friday will be leaders of Tanzania and Uzbekistan as well as senior officials from China and Sauda Arabia. For the first time since the Ukraine war, US officials have attended this year's forum once dubbed 'Russia's Davos'. The event is taking place amid Russia's ongoing offensive in Ukraine, with the country's economy drained by the shrinking oil&gas revenues, undermined by Ukrainian attacks on Russia's vital energy infrastructure and Western sanctions on the Russian energy exports. Daria Bondarchuk reports from Moscow.
