Russia's under-pressure economy and Vladimir Putin have been dealt a devastating blow after state-controlled gas giant Gazprom recorded a huge net loss of $12.89B (£9.9bn) in 2024. The company's financial woes were compounded by plummeting share prices in its subsidiary Gazpro Neft and an increased income tax rate of 25%.

This greatly raised tax liabilities for the company, leading to billions of pounds lost and follows a historic 2023 where Gazprom revealed a net loss for the first time in 25 years, recording a historic deficit of 629 billion rubles ($7.6 billion). The huge financial blow has had a knock on effect to its employees with Russian sources sharing that the gas giant's CEO, Alexei Miller, has now approved plans to cut 1,500 jobs.

Are Russian egg prices still slightly elevated than before the war?

If so Putin days are numbered (again)

I dont think you post anything that doesn’t serve your foreign agenda interests.

It’s kinda sickening.

American energy first. Gazprom’s failing is a good thing.

Name one time over the past three years that you've posted an article like this that ended up being right.

The Russian economy is doing pretty well and is on full war footing by the time. Any new sanctions are unlikely to do anything at this point.

Meanwhile the EU countries are struggling financially and militarily and any story coming from them should be viewed as propaganda!

Gazptom eating shiite means same for Putin’s skims. He is worth 200 billion or so from his skimming the Russian hydrocarbon exports sector. I am sure he has other skims and rackets too.
