What is happening with the ruble? That's complicated. Suffice to say that it is forecast to keep falling, leading to higher inflation, higher interest rates to counter that inflation, resulting in lower business profitability, hence lower investment.

Footage from the Ukrainian drone operator training simulator. The drone simulator is intended for the Ukrainian military and is not distributed among civilians. The peculiarity of the Ukrainian drone simulator is that all the maps in the simulator are real and allow not only to practice the skills of a drone operator, but also to study the terrain of Ukraine. The video in the simulator shows an episode of the interception of a Russian-made Orlan drone.
