Hey anti-Russian western propagandists, I herewith publicly challenge you to show me/us one news article by RT that is clearly a propaganda. I bet you can't find any... RT is IMO a very good news source, man! Convince yourself.
Here's another interesting news: "4 Aug, 2023 12:15 Russia becomes Europe’s biggest economy – report The country’s GDP in PPP terms is outperforming that of Germany, according to World Economics Russia was among the world’s five largest economies and the largest in Europe in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) as of the end of 2022, despite Western sanctions, the latest World Economics report has revealed. [...] " https://www.rt.com/business/580817-russia-europe-biggest-economy/
lol Germany gdp over 4 trillion France gdp close to 3 trillion Italy gdp 2.1 trillion Russia gdp 1.8 trillion Russia Today never lies New York State gdp 2 trillion California gdp is 3.4 trillion number of single US states gdp bigger than whole Russia. Just to put things in perspective. Russian vatniks too stupid and brain washed to understand that west happily would love buying their resources at market prices. No one wants to occupy Russia. It is their deranged leaders who push lies to stay in power and rob their subjects even More. And now they not just robbing them but send them to be slaughtered in Ukraine.
The report was published by the organization World Economics, RT just cites from that report. And there it also says "According to estimates based on official country data published by the World Bank and the IMF, Russia's gross domestic product was $5.51 trillion in PPP terms at the end of last year. " So, your above numbers must be very old as the news article uses numbers from the said recent report. And you lack to give the source of your numbers, as well the year... And the German "Der Spiegel" reports that in Q2 the Russian economy rose a whopping 4.9%. Despite the idiotic western sanctions. Eat the truth! Enjoy! https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/s...wartet-a-db692d61-b876-4637-b867-6c6636307602 " Plus 4,9 Prozent - Russlands Wirtschaft wächst stärker als erwartet Trotz Sanktionen und eines schwachen Rubels hat die russische Wirtschaft im Frühjahr kräftig zugelegt. Experten sehen dafür vor allem einen Grund. Aber: Der Arbeitskräftemangel ist ein Problem. 11.08.2023, 18.57 Uhr [...] "
Yeah and if you count in Matreshkas it might be the world biggest the simple fact USA single states have larger GDP then whole Russia. Case closed.
PPP adjusted the article is right. The ruble is grossly undervalued at the moment. Adjusted for that the numbers make a lot more sense
Gas reserves are full, supply comes in from Norway at a bigger level this year then last year but also from the US. They won't freeze. Maybe they will suffer again from high prices and therefore inflation but not in the same dimensions.
