Vladimir Putin today showed his rage at Russia's collapsing economy and failing war effort as he publicly humiliated one of the deputy prime ministers and again shook up his high command.

The angry despot blasted Denis Manturov in a government videoconference for failing to procure military and civilian planes.

He accused him of playing the fool after the politician, a deputy PM and Trade and Industry Minister, flew on holiday to NATO country Turkey over New Year.

The video shows an aggrieved Putin declaring: 'There are no contracts. What are you going to tell me? I know there are no contracts at the companies, the directors told me.

'Why are you really fooling around?'
