Moscow does not have a budget crisis, they're just putting non-military funding on hold for the lulz. Russia cuts key projects in aviation, tech, auto industries as oil revenues plummet https://kyivindependent.com/russia-...tech-auto-industries-as-oil-revenues-plummet/

US has imposed over 20,000 sanctions on Russia and Russia continues to thrive. Europe and Ukraine economies headed to the toilet. If US stops sending weapons to Ukraine, Macron, Merz and Starmer will bankrupt the European Union to support Ukraine and Zelensky. Russia will still win this war. 2, 3, 5 years? Even 20 years and Ukraine will still lose more territory and hundreds of thousands more dead Ukrainian soldiers. Fools never learn. I have urged President Donald Trump not to listen to these fools. Let them pay and fight their Ukraine proxy war!

Let's hear what Putin's economic expert has to say... Russia’s economy minister says the country is on ‘the brink of recession’ https://apnews.com/article/russia-e...ine-conflict-9d105fd1ac8c28908839b01f7d300ebd ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Russia’s economy is “on the brink of going into a recession,” the country’s economy minister said Thursday, according to Russian media reports. Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov delivered the warning at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the annual event in Russia’s second largest city designed to highlight the country’s economic prowess and court foreign investors. Russian business news outlet RBC quoted the official as saying “the numbers indicate cooling, but all our numbers are (like) a rearview mirror. Judging by the way businesses currently feel and the indicators, we are already, it seems to me, on the brink of going into a recession.” The economy, hit with a slew of sanctions after the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, has so far outperformed predictions. High defense spending has propelled growth and kept unemployment low despite fueling inflation. At the same time, wages have gone up to keep pace with inflation, leaving many workers better off. Large recruiting bonuses for military enlistees and death benefits for those killed in Ukraine also have put more income into the country’s poorer regions. But over the long term, inflation and a lack of foreign investments remain threats to the economy, leaving a question mark over how long the militarized economy can keep going. Economists have warned of mounting pressure on the economy and the likelihood it would stagnate due to lack of investment in sectors other than the military. Speaking at a forum session, Reshetnikov said Russia was “on the brink,” and whether the country would slide into a recession or not depends on the government’s actions. “Going forward, it all depends on our decisions,” Reshetnikov said, according to RBC. RBC reported Russia’s Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and Central Bank Gov. Elvira Nabiullina gave more optimistic assessments. Siluanov spoke about the economy “cooling” but noted that after any cooling “the summer always comes,” RBC reported. Nabiullina said Russia’s economy was merely “coming out of overheating,” according to RBC.
Wayyy to go Comrade Vlad. Hell of a way to stimulate the rural economy. China's economy is rocky too for a whole bunch of well-known reasons. But here's another one added to the long list: https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/...ld-be-the-biggest-loser-article-13137225.html
