A recorded meeting shows Russian President Vladimir Putin losing his temper when arguing with his deputy prime minister.
In Putin's first video call meeting of the year with government ministers, he sparred with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov before humiliating him by asking why he was "fooling around" instead of securing new contracts for plane construction, a video released by RIA Novosti shows.
When Manturov attempted to defend himself, Putin adopted a mocking tone before giving him one month as a deadline.
The incident started with a disagreement over whether or not new contracts had been issued for 2023; Manturov claimed they had been, and Putin claimed they had not. After going back and forth a few times, Putin got visibly annoyed and began chastising the deputy prime minister.
"There are still no orders at some enterprises ... for a long time. Too long. Enterprises must understand their prospects, orders — they must hire labor, maintain or expand production facilities, you understand? They need to understand how many military ships, how many civilian ones will be ordered. There aren't any orders for 2023," Putin said.
"So? When will this be sorted?" he asked.
Putin's tantrum against Manturov went on for a full minute while the minister awkwardly looked down at his papers.
"Why are you fooling about?" Putin asked. "When will we have the contracts?"

Have you ever looked at a map of Ukraine?
Are you posting drunk again?
Buzz off dimwit!
Nato didn’t expand or crossed “red-lines” the way you make it sound like.
The ex invaded Eastern European countries, including Ukraine, had been under Russian occupation for decades... they lived through hell. When the Soviet Russian system momentarily collapsed, those previously occupied nations suddenly regained their freedom. But at that point they had no army to protect themselves in case Russia decided to occupy them AGAIN...
That’s why all previously occupied European eastern countries by Russia ran to NATO for urgent protection.
Without NATO those eastern counters would already have been taken back by Russia. Proof : Ukraine wasn’t part of NATO - thus it was invaded by Russia!
Russia has no say in other nations way of life and how they manage their own defense systems.
Cronos, good work!
You have the Russian bots on you today, that’s a good sign.
You hit them with the truth, as usual they get triggered, and as usual they lose the argument.
Putin is trying to resurrect a long-dead empire, and the Russian people just aren't into that anymore.
Putin is trying to build the Soviet Union 2.0.
It’s imperialism, yes.
Plan A to quickly take over Kyiv and put a puppet failed — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hostomel
Plan B to gain the east and all of the southern coastline to Moldova failed in April - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mykolaiv
- with the sinking of the Moskva - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Moskva
Plan C to gain just the Donbas and east failed - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Lyman

I'm not you mac
The Russkies can’t seem to explain why their glorious leader has spent 10 months losing.
They talk about “wonder weapons” but they are all missing from the battlefield
They talk about “Russia having ‘only’ 7K losses” yet can’t explain why there was a partial mobilization
They can’t explain the losses at Kherson, Kharkiv, Lyman etc. to a weaker foe.
Drinking in the morning is an ugly look for you.
You should quit that practice, Azovnista.
The revision history by the Wikipedia Ukie propagandists on these articles would be VERY entertaining, since Wikipedia editing is captured by the Kiev Goebbelists.
Thanks - didn’t think he had any CREDIBLE sources.
Schizo Putin also ignores the abysmal birthrates for real ethnic Russians. It is too low to sustain the Russian Empire Putin wants to resurrect. Putin is just another delusional old fart who wants to bring back his past glory. In Putin's case, Russia's past imperialist empire glory/
Hopefully he dies of cancer soon.

Wojo - is that another one of your Russian terms? Or something new fed to you by today’s Kremlin line?
Kiry, kiry - you call people names that define yourself.
“drunkboy” — is that the Kremlin supplied vodka you’re having?
You were really on a bender last night.
The "shot of vodka" army from Poland is celebrating its Galician Banderite brothers. 
Actually you are Kiry.
How many vodka bottles was it today for you?
