"She" is consistently rhetorical in assertions, and often uninformed. Take the " 'Meanwhile........ the Russian economy continues to wither and the Ruble continues to lose value.' Truth."

A look to the ten year history is very much in order, to place things in a longer perspective.

Additionally, the exchange rate proves little when one cannot exchange USD for rubles, anyway. So "true" is often not quite true.

The IMF data sets caused a flap. TIME asked, "Why Is the IMF Pushing Putin's Economic Propaganda?" Apr 11, 2023. And Barrons wrote, "IMF Raises Russian Growth Forecast On Deficit-fueled Government Spending," April 11, 2023.

Predicting the future is the stuff of oracles and pundits and dat-crunchers who have real access and actuarial prowess. I hesitate to predict the future, hesitate to declare who the "officially" non-NATO war between Ukraine and Russia will turn out. Too many unknowns, as it seems.

But here is a fact which is true. This daily thread promotes clicks to monetized "content created" channels. True.
