Putin's Regime Finally Admits Russian Economy is in Shambles. Putin Ready to Talk - The Russian Dude
All the way from 2014 Russian economy started experiencing the first signs of turbulence. Ruble devalued more than in half. But it was nothing in comparison to what was about to happen in 2022 and beyond. What was expected to be a three day war ended up lasting for more than three years. The economy was not ready. And recently, the Russian economy was fully transported on military tracks. One thing about such economies is that they can survive for as long as war goes on. As soon as conflict ends, so does the economy of such country. So no wonder Putin is ready to talk.
