In the post just below this one, Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a claim that’s been made from Kyiv before:<\/p>\n

“We see what is already happening with the Russian economy and what could happen next if the pressure works correctly.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This was a topic on our past weekly Q&A with military analyst Michael Clarke<\/b>, who said Russia’s economic output is suffering.<\/p>\n

Moscow has been subjected to crushing international sanctions, which are targeting its ability to fund its war machine. <\/p>\n

Most recently, in October, the US sanctioned Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil, which have been described by US correspondent David Blevins <\/b>as the “twin engines pumping money through Russia’s military veins”.<\/p>\n

But as of now, the Russian economy still hasn’t collapsed under the accumulating weight of economic countermeasures.<\/p>\n

That said, Clarke added it’s certainly shaky – “now much more so than before”.<\/p>\n

The numbers<\/b><\/p>\n

At the beginning of the war, the economy got a boost from war spending, which made it grow at about 4.5%. <\/p>\n

This year’s estimate by the IMF is below 0.8% – the lowest amount throughout the developed world, Clarke said.<\/p>\n

Among the issues, Clarke named a labour shortage, a tight fiscal situation (because all the credit has been given to the war industry) and falling energy prices that reduce Russian income.<\/p>\n

Russia increasingly has to dip into its sovereign wealth fund and has already spent about half of it.<\/p>\n

Is Ukraine too optimistic?<\/b><\/p>\n

But despite all that, the economy is not going to tip, Clarke said.<\/p>\n

He noted there are other examples of economies around the world that don’t actually end up collapsing. <\/p>\n

Clarke believes the Ukrainian predictions that the structural problems will have an effect and eventually lead Russian society to bring Vladimir Putin down are “over-optimistic”.<\/p>\n

With Russia being close to a totalitarian society, there is no way for suffering people to express their discontent.<\/p>\n
