Russia’s Silent Economic Crisis | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A top Russian economist has been fired for sounding the alarm on Russia’s economic and social collapse, warning the country is heading toward revolution and will lose its war in Ukraine — a stark contrast to the government’s claims of stability. His dismissal follows a crackdown on dissent, including a 11-year prison sentence for a Yabloko party member and the party’s ban from elections, revealing the Kremlin’s tightening grip on criticism. Klepach’s analysis, comparing Russia’s current plight to 1917 and 1991, highlights growing inequality, stalled growth, and dependence on China — all while Ukrainian strikes fuel inflation and supply shocks.
