Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy is showing clear signs of structural exhaustion. The contours of a genuine economic endgame are coming into view for Russia. This is the finding of a new Kiel Report published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics.

    Aye flying, or will fly?

    Since you can’t distinguish present from future

        Ok? Cherry picking much?

        That’s not the conclusion they reached, is it? That’s the observation they’re making upon which they base their conclusions. The conclusion they all reached is that it will have major impacts at some undefined point in the future. But that is inconvenient for the point you’re trying to make.

        And Deripaska, still, really? He only cares about his own pockets.

        (Editor’s note: it is now 2026)

        And I guess the editor is so far up his own ass, that he didn’t realize Russia has been in a recession since end of 2025?

                I said I will believe it when I see it, since I have seen people say things like the headline of this article for years

                no you didn’t. Don’t lie.

                I’ll believe it when I see it. I have been hearing this since 2022 and they’re unleashing more and more ballistic missiles on Kyiv every week

                Also I never replied to that comment of yours, I commented to your Von der Leyen quote which you implied to be incorrect.

                    lol you dumbass read my initial comment on this article.

                    Guess what I quoted above you illiterate clown

                    Yep, it was wildly premature to claim such a thing. And the data afterwards of the Russian economy hanging on for years have shown that.

                    So you finally answered my initial question, amazing. Took for fucking ever.

                    No her claim was factual, dumbass.

                    You just read “will drain Russia’s economy” and understand “will immediately lead to a meltdown of Russia’s economy”

                    Don’t blame others for your illiteracy
