Russian economy has hit the buffers18 Apr 2026 13:26
All the economic indicators are heading in the wrong direction.
Unless China is willing and able to bankroll Putin,then I think Russia will end up bankrupt.
Many Russians are now the poorest in Europe and things are just getting worse.
It will take a generation for Russia to get back to a functioning economy.
The recent Moscow economic forum gave a very gloomy snapshot of the current desperate situation.
It would have been great if someone suggested that Putin should stop sending it's most valuable resource,young men ,into Ukraine to get killed or crippled.
Hopefully peace will come sometime this year.
