Russian Economy About to 'Hit the Ice,' Putin Ally Warns
Russia's economy is about to "hit the ice", billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska, described as President Vladimir Putin's "favorite oligarch", has warned.
The businessman, whose fortune Forbes estimates at $2.4 billion, issued the warning in a post on his Telegram channel, saying that there is a general drop in commodity prices, including those that Russia exports, and that this could negatively impact the country's economy.

So, why would commodities prices collapse?
Well, possibly bc a large market, the collective west, would collapse first
Too bad for the west that while Russia clearly can function without the west, the west can't function without Russia.

Putin Dealt Double Blow by US Allies in Europe
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been dealt a double blow after the European Union Council adopted a 12th sanctions package against Russia this week and it was reported that sanctions imposed on Russia in response to Putin's war in Ukraine will not be lifted after the conflict ends.

You're not laughing. Your hiding behind lies and propaganda. You never even come close to posting anything truthful.
You, no not laughing, crying.

European Sanctions Cause Russian Natural Gas Collapse || Peter Zeihan
Most of Europe has been working to reduce dependency on Russian natural gas, and boy, did they deliver. Russia's natural gas state monopoly, Gazprom, has just reported its lowest output levels since 1978.

Sanctions deflate prices and the Kremlin's budget revenue
Bloomberg concludes that the primary reason for the difference is an 11 percent increase in expenditures and a 24 percent decrease in budget revenue from oil and gas taxes. Notwithstanding this decline, these sources still comprise one-third of the Kremlin's revenue.
Oil revenue also fell due to a 17 percent downturn in oil prices in 2023. Western sanctions, applied in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, had a significant influence as well.
Revenue from the export of Russian gas also diminished. The Kremlin's decision to halt most of the supply to Europe in 2023 led to a 65 percent decline in budget revenue from export duties on gas, equivalent to roughly 6.9 billion US dollars, Bloomberg reports. It's worth noting that Russia only delivers gas via one pipeline in Ukraine – TurkStream.
Moreover, the International Energy Agency assesses that domestic pipeline gas exports to the European Union fell by 65 percent in 2023. The mild winter weather and, thus, the reduced demand played a part in this drop.

Also, if these numbers come from Russia, and it is said they do, then the real numbers are certainly worse.
