Interesting to read that the Bank of Russia is using an exchange rate of $1 = 103.79 rubles today when the rest of the world is using 105+. Anyone going to buy rubles from Russia when they can buy cheaper in the free market?

Just checked, $1 = 105.777 rubles right now. The ruble in your pocket is worth 1.7% less now than it was yesterday. 10% fall in the last week is more than what I call a slide.

I wonder what your central bank governor will be doing with your interest rate in the next few days.

------

Just checked again. The ruble in your pocket is worth 2.6% less now than it was yesterday.

Time to hike the bank rate again? The Bank of Russia does not have an infinite amount of foreign currency to buy rubles to raise its value. Russia needs foreign currency to buy things from foreign suppliers because they don't want to be paid in rubles.

NATO Parliamentary Assembly calls on alliance members to provide Kyiv with medium-range missiles, including Tomahawk​

«We are talking about missiles with a range of 1000-5500 kilometers, capable of striking deep into Russian territory and hitting strategically important objects. Among the weapons of this class, in particular, are the American Tomahawk».

P.S. А Томагавков у Америки больше, чем у дурака махорка

Time to let Ukraine hit military targets in Russia, isn't it? Russia's weapons suppliers North Korea and Iran do not dictate that their weapons are only used against occupied Russia (Kursk), not against Ukraine.

On the battlefront Ukraine continues losing ground day by day. On the economic front Russia continues losing ground day by day.

Both sides are losing.

Billing is always at the end.

They still have to beat March 2022, Weird their GDP has a 2 % growth expected in 2025.

As desperate as they are getting are they going to actually hit loaded airbases this time?

But the Russians don't want an escalation of the conflict... In their opinion, starting a military actios with a neighboring state, killing its citizens, turning its cities into ruins, hitting it with an intercontinental ballistic missile - that's not a war, that's just a conflict. But if you hit Russia with Tomahawks, that's already a war
The Russians don't want a war

March 22: because of the shock of Russia invading Ukraine and the uncertainty it produced, ruble holders unloaded rubles. Bank of Russia stepped in, raised interest rate to 20% as an emergency measure, started buying rubles.

GDP may grow 2% in 2025. It does not produce wealth, though making things that are then destroyed. That is what some would term 'bad GDP'.

56 days left.

so we are going to wait a long ass time until we see an economic drop which by than this war will be over the way it is going.
Russia is running out of missiles to.

An episode of the Russian BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle in Ukraine, long-range fire. The combat work of the BMD-4M is practically not shown, the video was filmed in the Zaporizhia direction. The BMD-4M is shelling Ukrainian strongholds located in forest belts. Fire is conducted from a 100-mm 2A70 gun and a 30-mm 2A72 automatic gun at a long distance. It is worth noting that the BMD-4M has no protection against drones, which is quite risky these days. The BMD-4M crew is three people. The video is shortened.

Getting to the Dniepr is like getting to the half-line point of Ukraine which might complicate long range strikes.

The economic drop has not been very visible to most Russians. They have seen higher pay due to a shortage of labour, some have received large amounts of compensation for deaths and injuries in Ukraine, some have received large bonuses to sign up for the army, some (I guess) are receiving very high pay in the arms industry. I imagine that most Russians feel very well off at the moment and are unaware of the economic problems of their country. But... there are serious economic problems that are starting to appear. How serious they are and are likely to become is difficult to predict, since a lot of economic statistics are no longer available or cannot be trusted. The economic data that are available , that can be trusted, look bad and look like they are getting worse.

I guess that Putin senses that he needs Russia to stop fighting this 3 day / 3 week walkover of a war sooner rather than later. He may have spent half what was in the national wealth fund by now, so things will get harder as that starts to run low.

The reason I discuss Russia's economy is that I think it is what influences most the likely outcome of the war (apart from the election of Trump).
