Most reports by govts west and east alike are full of bullocks
Understanding what is real and what is not is always difficult.
What is clear to me is that in Russia’s case their economy is not as good as they claim and not as bad as others claim. With that said, common sense tells me that spending such a large amount on this war, increasing damage to their infrastructure from without and within, loss of manpower due to the war and people leaving….. the Russian economy is in a fragile state. As the saying goes things happen slowly till all at once
Russian mir demands that people are told all is well keep moving nothing to see here
Time will tell, Putin “loves” history, well Russian history has many examples of this happening
….. the Russian economy is in a fragile state. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then Why is ROSM Oil have recommended buy issued by stock analysts at $359 + per share? For the last three months?

The Russian economy is going gangbusters.No deficit financing, they have a balanced budget and huge gold reserves.
If the Russian economy were failing,the Ukraine adventure by Putin would be over.At this point in time after what Biden has done by cancelling US oil, the Russian economy is in better shape than the USA’s.
It is America’s economy that is now in decline, not Russia’s.We are in debt by close to 40 Trillion dollars with declining government revenues. Russia is tooting along way better than we are.The Russian oil stock prices prove it
Continued financing at our current rate of the Ukraine war will bankrupt America .
Let Europe finance the war, which will be ended by PDJT within 2 weeks of taking office.
Cash flow looks stronk

Only Russia is to blame for what is happening on its territory, - Lithuanian Prime Minister Šimonite on Armed Forces’ operation in Kursk region
24.08.24 19:13
https://censor.net/en/n3506432
Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonite considers it dishonest to say that the war unleashed by Russia means limiting military operations to the territory of Ukraine.
She said this during a joint press conference with the Presidents of Poland and Ukraine Andrzej Duda and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday, 24 August, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
The head of the Lithuanian government reminded that it was Russia that started the war, and Ukraine is defending itself.
“Sometimes I am surprised that people think that if Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, it means that the war can only continue on the territory of Ukraine. It shouldn’t be like that, because it’s just not fair. Therefore, of course, the Russians should bear the risks and responsibility for what may happen on their territory,” Šimonite said.
The politician noted that everyone in Lithuania is watching what is happening in the Kursk region with great attention, and everyone sees that Putin is not worried about “his people and his borders”.
“He doesn’t care about protecting his people very much, because the value of human life in Russia is completely different from the value of life in all our countries. And the answer is very simple: Russia can stop all these operations in Kursk, anywhere. It can simply withdraw (from the territory of Ukraine - ed.) and stop the war,” the Lithuanian Prime Minister said.
As a reminder, Polish President Andrzej Duda, who also arrived in Kyiv on 24 August, commenting on the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ operation in Kursk region, said that Russia must realise that by attacking an independent state, it will also suffer losses.

Lithuanian Prime Minister Šimonite: “Together we will celebrate victory with electricity, gas and without Russians”
https://censor.net/en/n3506409
On Saturday, 24 August, Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonite delivered a greeting in Kyiv at a solemn event dedicated to Ukraine’s Independence Day.
Šimonite addressed the Ukrainians in Ukrainian, expressed her sincere gratitude for the defence of the entire democratic world and wished them faith, resilience, and victory.
“I not only hope, I believe that the Victory Day will definitely come, that we will celebrate it together in the Ukrainian Crimea, in the free and proud Mariupol, that Ukrainians who have been sheltered in Lithuania will return and rebuild the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, that Ukrainian children will return to their homes in the Sumy, Kharkiv and Kherson regions, that brave Ukrainian defenders will hug their loved ones, that they will return from the front line and from captivity,” she said.
The head of the Lithuanian government expressed hope that together we will witness the sentences for all those who committed inhuman war crimes against the Ukrainian people and state, and that Ukraine’s victory and the international tribunal will bring a fair and sustainable peace to Ukraine and to our common home - Europe.

“Lithuania has been and will be with Ukraine every step of the way towards this goal. We are doing and will continue to do everything to bring closer the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, the victory of free people, which we will celebrate together - with light, with gas and without Russians,” the Lithuanian Prime Minister concluded.

Zeepers are well-pleased.
It’s always hilarious to Ukrainians demeaned in the exact manner Marxist Democrats do to patriotic Americans. That flag is signed by defenders of Ukraine. Some of them most likely killed in action by now. But their country still lives. A concept and sacrifice armchair populists will never understand, obviously.
