Summary
Russia’s ruble has plunged to its lowest level since March 2022 following new U.S. sanctions on Gazprombank, a key platform for energy payments.
The ruble’s slide, driven by sanctions, falling oil prices, and soaring defense spending, has intensified inflation and strained the war economy.
While the Kremlin benefits from a weaker ruble by converting foreign revenues into more domestic currency, experts warn of overheating risks and financial instability.
The Russian central bank is scrambling for solutions, but long-term economic pressures and declining oil revenues pose significant challenges.
DW is at service of imperialist agenda
Anti-imperialism is when you invade your neighbor and steal their land for no reason and also obliterate their language and culture from the regions you stole from them.
Don’t forget kidnapping their children and ‘adopting’ them into Russian families
Remember when Russia gave up its empire when the last tsar was overthrown and certainly as the first Communist state didn’t occupy its neighbors for decades? I don’t either.
You can find the same news on RT. I didn’t realise they had defected.
Same “news” but angled from an alternative, co-dependent empire. Either way is phony.
TIL Russia is co-dependant with Russia
Russia is imperialist as fuck
that is not a counter-argument. both can be true.
Been huffin’ too many of those chemicals, Willy?
