    Russia's economy is expected to grow faster than that of the U.S. in 2024, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

    Russian economy just over run Germany
    Looking at GDP in PPP (purchasing power parity) terms removes price level differences and allows a better comparison, especially of living standards, between countries. In these terms Russia has just overtaken Germany to become the fifth wealthiest economy in the world and the largest in Europe, worth $5.3 trillion.

    Russians will soon be eating 🥣 only hotdogs for dinner . That’s bad…….we still don’t know what hotdogs are made of 😬🫣🙄

    One thing about all the news on the state of Russia's economy focused on the exchange rate with usd when in reality, usd has been replaced by other currency. It doesn't matter if it falls to 1000usd to ruble as long as imports can be acquired without the usd.

    BS. IMF has different opinion about it.

    The Russian economy has fallen to the 1st place in Europe and to the 5th in the world according to the bank, according to the World Bank.

    All Russophobic media has 1 thing in common. The only evidence they have is graph, data, number made from farts. Meanwhile Russian people showing in tiktok, facebook, and other media of how they are still enjoying daily routine life, buying food, shopping and many other things like nothing ever happened. US on the otherside is growing tent cities, British people can't afford paying gas for heating and electric, France is burning worse then Ukraine, German is kowtowing to China as they will soon turn into France in matter of weeks.

    February 28, 2024 at 7:10 am

    I would take biased western media reports with a pinch of salt. It's very hard to believe these media aren't pro-west and anti-Russia.

    Stop hating Russian people
    Sanctions is evil men weapons
    Stop supporting politicians and corporation wars

  18. @joseluispcr

    February 28, 2024 at 7:10 am

    Also worth noting is the tanks artilhary and stuff being destroyed. They will need to replenshi all that and it wont be cheap, speciaaly with the sanctions
