"Lipsits' comments shed some light on Russia's seemingly resilient wartime economy, which is booming...
Russia's gross domestic product grew 5.5% in the third quarter from a year ago...
But the growth isn't translating into affluence for many Russians on the ground."
Welcome to the fucking club! This could be a description of most G-whatever countries tbh.
Yep - they’re on par with EU market, or just above. They’re not hurting much more than they previously were.
It’s mock sanctions.
What are you saying?! Shell have had an absolute bumper couple of years! I keep reading promises that Russia's economy is about to collapse, but for realsies this time. Time will tell. Everyone is lying now, we'll see who was right by the end of the decade (probably).
Meanwhile, the instability now is the best thing since sliced COVID for massive wealth transfer from poorer to richer.
I’m saying that the Russian economy expanded just as much as EU economy this year, or maybe a bit more.
Yes, i agree with you. Or at least, i wouldn't say you can credibly refute our position. You xsn posit and claim, but i believe it's propaganda until the truth comes out over a king time.
