Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, on Sunday took another apparent swipe at Vladimir Putin, rebuking the prime minister's government for moving too slowly to alleviate the country's economic crisis. Mr Medvedev said only 30 per cent of the government's anti-crisis programme drafted last October had been fulfilled."We have to acknowledge that at the present moment planned measures are being fulfilled more slowly than expected and, most important, more slowly than the current situation demands," Mr Medvedev said at a meeting at the Salyut engine plant outside Moscow.
