Russia is in serious trouble from within. The core of the economic system is crumbling, under the weight of Putin’s war in Ukraine.

I hope it’s true, but Kiev post wouldn’t be the least biased source to report this.

And when Trump gets elected and increases US domestic oil production world oil prices will drop below $50.

How can the Russian oligarchs look at what is happening and think they will profit from this? Why not remove Putin politely and be done with this mess? Then fuel exports can return and their wealth will increase.

I’ve heard this before. Wake me up when Putin pays an actual price

Yeah, hopefully. But at this point it seems that evil defies logic. Why haven’t their economy crumbled by now? How can they afford all this constant failure without loosing?

Putin, just print more Rubles… that will teach the economy.

The headline say ones thing and the article another. It seems that the Ruble isn’t currently imploding. But it could based on X, Y, and Z projections.
As long as China, India, and Africa keep buying Russian Oil and goods it seems likely that this prediction of impending Russian economic ruin will be as accurate as the previous predictions.

Russia is going to adopt the Yuan as their currency by the end of next year and China’s second go of the vassalizing the Rus will be complete without firing a single shot. 2 Nuclear-armed neighbors down, 1 to go.

Heard it. Didn’t happen. Ruble recovered. Repeat. Tiring. Just win the war already.

As much as I want this to be true, and it likely is, I’m not going to take the word of a Ukranian paper on this. There’s a bit of a default implied bias here.

By now if it actually happens nobody will even pay attention. USD / Rub unchanged last 6 something months.

Keeping in mind that the sanctions aren’t really there to help Ukrainians. The sanctions are there to weaken the Russian economy to such an extent that it can’t go on to try to conquer other countries after Ukraine.

The ruble is just turning to rubble.

>Saudi Arabia’s recent decision to ignore the OPEC+ target of $100 per barrel, a power move by Riyadh to shake-up smaller oil producers who were selling their oil too cheaply, may drive oil prices to as low as $50 per barrel – something that would represent a disaster for the Russian budget, supported by what Mikhail Mishustin, the current prime minister, recently said: The Russian government should anticipate deficits during the 2025-27 fiscal years.
Instead of having to accept lower oil prices they should push the US to allow more strikes on russian oil infrastructure.

It doesn’t matter if their internal economy still produces the goods they need.

A lot of people in here openly acknowledging (and dismissing) they don’t understand how currency or foreign exchange works, lol.
Pre-war (US) dollar to Ruble was 1:~65. Since the war, it has truly only increased. Yes, at one point it got as high as 1:120, and came down because the Russian central government used most of their cards. Over 2024? It hasn’t come down past 1:~83-95.
Yeah, anyone who uses the Ruble as their primary currency is definitely feeling that.
