最新报道:Russian President Vladimir Putin faces mounting economic challenges as former U.S. President Donald Trump claims "the Russian economy stinks" due to Western sanctions and plummeting oil prices. Trump suggested on Truth Social that collapsing energy revenues could force Russia to end its war in Ukraine, stating "when the money dries up, the war stops." Analysts note Russia's GDP contracted 3% last quarter while inflation hit 17%, with oil exports—accounting for 45% of federal revenue—falling to $48/barrel. The ruble has weakened 23% against the dollar this year, prompting emergency 15% interest rate hikes. Kremlin officials dismissed Trump's comments as "geopolitical trolling," maintaining their $118 billion war chest buffers the economy.
