Russia's Space Agency Forced to Sell Off Assets as Sanctions Take Toll
Russia's Roscosmos space agency plans to sell off assets worth more than 11.4 billion rubles ($124 million) as sanctions imposed by the West over President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine continue to take a toll, local media has reported.
A representative of the company told Russian news outlet RBC that the decision was made after Roscosmos lost almost 80 percent of its export income after losing orders and key partners due to the war in Ukraine. This year, it intends to sell its "non-core" assets—more than 150 items including boarding houses and former sanatoriums, land and property complexes, and recreation centers.

Russia Hit By Tsunami of Bankruptcies
Russia has seen a sharp spike in corporate bankruptcies, according to a report that comes as Vladimir Putin looks to tax companies more to pay for his social program and the sanctions-hit economy continues to face turbulence.
The business newspaper Kommersant reported that in the first two months of 2024, corporate bankruptcies had increased by more than a half compared with the same period last year—and experts predicted an increase in insolvencies in future.

No, Russia Is Not Winning

Two years after Russia launched its full-scale war of aggression, Ukraine is still holding the line militarily, and even beginning to recover economically. As much as Vladimir Putin wants the world to think he has shielded the Russian economy from blowback, recent financial and economic developments suggest otherwise.
Russia’s economy has been showing signs of strain. A report from the US Treasury Department finds that Russia’s economy is 5% smaller than it would have been if President Vladimir Putin had not invaded Ukraine.
On Russia’s side, most of the economic losses are the result of its own mismanagement and Western sanctions. Analysts note that, due to military casualties and the exodus of individuals fleeing conscription, Russia faces a “demographic crisis.”

Microsoft says Russian companies will be forced off its cloud services within days
Despite recent reports that Microsoft was all set to ban Russian companies from its suite of cloud services from March 20, it turns out this still isn’t in effect, but should be by the end of March 2024 - this week - instead, after the company held discussions with IT platform Softline, one of its customers.

Good, because Putin and his cronies are cowards and pussies. Just like some of the posters here.

Ukraine Closing In on Russian Money Bonanza
International momentum on both sides of the Atlantic is building for Ukraine to benefit from Russian assets frozen due to Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion.
The Restoring Justice for Ukraine conference in The Hague on Tuesday saw 44 countries back a special tribunal to address Moscow's ongoing aggression and support a move for "immobilized Russian sovereign assets" to be used to help rebuild the war-torn country.

Putin is reported to be overheard crying while saying, that's not fair.

Major Russian oil refinery shuts down following Orsk dam burst
The failure was attributed to improper maintenance of the hydraulic structure, leading to the opening of a criminal investigation by the regional prosecutor’s office.
Situated near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan, the city of Orsk has drawn attention from Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who labeled the flooding as one of Kazakhstan’s most significant natural disasters in 80 years.

A direct result of sanctions. No parts that are needed for upkeep and also because of educated people running away from Russia as fast as they can.
Laughing here comrade signym
