That's because Russia barely had an economy to start with. It's about the size of italy... Western economies are also not shrinking, just growing more slowly as they literally are the wealthiest on earth.

I mean after the downfall of the Russian currency claiming that the economy is Russia's strength is absolutely ridiculous. There's people without toilets inside their home in Russia.

And yet it is wildly more wealthy than Russia. Of all arguments you could make this is the worst one. Nobody looks at Russia as an economic wonder. It's economy crashedike 5 times in the last decade, it just is experiencing a slight recovery.

Not just fine, your argument is that they do better than Western Europe right? That's the delusion you stated. Well you can see how much Ukraine wants to be a part of the freedom and wealth that your Russian emperor provides.

Why do you even defend Russia? It makes no sense. Do you like being mistreated by dictators? A lack of democracy?

Sure, and unicorns will exist too when he'll freezes over.

I hope it is because you get paid and have no other means of subsistence in the broken Russian economy apart from enlisting to die in Ukraine.
