#Trump officials promised “incredible opportunities” if Moscow ended its war on Ukraine. But Russia’s economy is in chaos and the business environment is hostile. As @eribakova.bsky.social says: "The biggest problem here is that there’s no money to be made." bit.ly/4bmbtDs via @nytimes.com

People have asked me recently... what if...? would you go...? My personal and strongly held opinion is that opportunists who rush back to Russia will get what they deserve, and probably won't have to wait long for it

U.S has leverage over Russia’s economy. Sanctions have an effect. That’s why Putin is so careful to stress that rates over 20% are manageable and economy is “ok” @piie.com Ecohttps://www.cnn.com/2025/01/26/europe/putin-russia-economy-trump-analysis-intl/index.html
Putin lauds the strength of Russia’s economy. Others see a mirage | CNN
