- The US, UK and EU have announced new sanctions on Russia, two years after its invasion of Ukraine.
The measures also marked a week since the death in custody of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
President Vladimir Putin has claimed European sanctions have done Russia no harm, saying: "We have growth, and they have decline."
The International Energy Agency says Russia is still exporting 8.3 million barrels of oil a day - having increased supplies to India and China.

but according to the Western media, Russia is running out of ammo and only fighting with dull shovels
Yes and this since 1,5 years 😂
😂
India is re exporting Russia oil. Oil is refined in I Dua and reshipped to UK, EU etc..
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk... fuck filers propaganda
We still import Russian oil even if it is refined in a 3rd country like India. We break our own sanctions. Ridiculous.
If you don't import then you will be doomed.
USA will sell you same oil at 3 times more price.
Because there's no way around it. It's just giving oil companies like BP and Shell an excuse to hike up prices. The margin they put on per litre is practically double of what they put on prior to the war, that's why they're making record profits. But our government are the Tories, they'd rather give the rich an excuse to make more money than just go "fuck it, we can't do anything, so let's help our people" and just resume purchasing oil from Russia directly so that regular people can at least not suffer from oil companies' ridiculous margins.
That’s exactly how British & American mindset works

Europe is not the world

Good point.
Tells you about the Western mindset, and why we are the enemies to the majority of the world
Who said Europe was the entire world? lol At least it ain't a s-hole that Russia, North Korea, Iran and China is..I know where I will stay living..
Russia has surpassed expectations and still the west cannot get over it 😂😂😂😂
By getting bogged down in a war.
RuZZia hide the truth. Simples, compare the Meerkat
Not if you understand economics. Looking at a few indicators can provide a false picture. The Russian economy is slowly being destroyed. Basically they are spending their savings and using monies meant for non-war purposes to build tanks etc. This will create long-term economic problems.
Surpassing expectations would actually mean Russia took over the majority of Ukraine in less than 2 days and then started considering invading Moldova. So no they're not surpassing expectations, but they are spending away 100ks of Russian lives and billions of dollars to prop up their trillion dollar economy, so in that way they sort of surpassed expectations (but not really because we all knew supreme leader Putin doesn't value the average Russians lives). Hope Xi is ready to help Putin last another year or 2 after Europe uses $300 billion in Russian assets to build Ukrainian wartime factories in Romania and Poland. Perhaps we could even employ the Chinese to do it since they're the best at building them in under a year and Evergrande (which builds 1 in 6 Chinese houses) just went bankrupt in a Hong Kong court.
@@Matt1975ism The real number of how many Russians have died in Ukraine is classified. We wouldn't want the world to know what the Kremlin and Russian military Generals' incompetence actually looks like.
The way propaganda spinned will make us laugh 😅
Russia must stop the war.
It's comical.
Having thoroughly studied Russia's Central Banks releases the following is clear.
in 2023 and to date in 2024 Russia achieved 14 months of multi billion dollar deficits, following a multi billion dollar deficit in December 2022 (Source : Russia Central Bank data) leading to a 156 billion dollar reduction in revenue.
The deficits are a continual worsening trend caused by western sanctions decreasing Russia's revenues by 62% from oil and gas, which according to Russia Bank's data is over 156 billion dollars down on the same period in 2021/ 2022.
On top of this Russia's currency, the Ruble, has decreased in value by 52%, making it one of the 3 worst performing currencies in 2023, even after Russia's Bank doubled interest rate from 7.5% to 15% in 5 months at the end of 2023, in an attempt to stop it declining in value even further.
Russia has stopped fuel exports to prevent shortages, has food queues for the first time since Soviet times and spare parts availability for cars, planes, agricultural machinery, industry, etc has gone from 2 days to 18 months, if available at all.
Russia has been robbing its 'reserve funds' to pay for the economy, which means the growth may look good, but it's not from new revenues! You understand that differention, yes?
Lastly, Russians are freezing all across Russia due to heating and electrical power infrastructure failures due to poor maintenance.
These are easily researched facts and yet you will hear every day that Russia is doing well! why? because people believe Russian propaganda and don't understand statistics!
Let me give you an example.
Let's say Russia earned $100 and due to sanctions lost half (50%), the level of Russia's value at the start of the next year is now $50. in the next 12 months Russia achieves a growth of $10 giving them a total of $60.(which, if taken from the lower $50 starting point calculates as 20% growth). That for some and in particular the IMF forcasters, indicates a growth of 20%, rather than a deficit of 40% from the Original $100 starting point the previous year.
The bigger picture (wider the historical data spread) gives you the real picture, and not the snap shot taken that included the lower figures to support the narrative that Russia is doing OK.
Think about that for a while.

Russia needs to learn to coexist with its neighbors.
@@matthewb.7172 it did coexist with neighbours fine, but as the saying goes (again not even Russian, Irish or Indian) - if a family started quarelling and fighting each other, this means a Brit has been there recently.
@@Notyourbusiness266”it did coexist with its neighbor” untill it decided to invade. Russians have to reconcile with their history of oppression begining with Stalin. All supporters of dictatorships direct blame outwards and it seems you drink the coolaide
@@Notyourbusiness266 Or Brit's love child, USA.
The sanctions actually work. It made Russia's economy grow by 3.6% instead of the target goal of 4.9% but it also affect some European countries like Germany almost close to 0. It works on enemies and allies.
germany isn't at zero GDP growth, it's below.
Germany is in an economic recession currently.
They do work ..Germany 2:21 is in recession.....the power house of EI 😂
Russia must stop the war.
This is nonsense. Russia's goal was around 1.7%. They themselves were surprized by the high IMF prediction, and still held a lower prediction afterward.
GDP is a measure of the value of all goods and services produced in a country. A 3.6% growth means that Russia now produces 3.6% more stuff in terms of dollar value.
Lots of exports to Russia were banned. Lots of Western brands left Russia willingly. This left a big demand for those goods and services in Russia...this demand was filled by new local producers that sprang up in Russia during the first year (and they didnt have to worry about being outcompeted by western industries). This is why Russia now produces more goods and services (which requires the employment of people, increase demand for labor, which increases wages and salaries.
The other factor is the increase in value of certain goods and services. Attempting to block imports of oil and gas from one of the largest producers is going to increase the dollar value of these goods and services...because of market volatility.
Normally, when left alone, the market will settle into the most efficient trade routes, but if you stir that up, things become expensive.
E.g. here's a hypothetical, If Europe stops importing from Russia, and starts importing from Saudi and Qatar and bids a higher price to get it due to demand, Saudi and Qatar now have less available for it's current customers. Their current customers now have their supply disrupted and have a bigger demand for oil and gas, and when they search for supply they find that Russia just so happens to have additional supply available and are willing to pay more than usual due to circumstances.
All this caused the Russian Government to collect more tax revenue. Increased business activity, increased employment and salaries, increased value of exports that are directly taxed, etc. means more money in the coffers of a government (oil and gas exports have a large export tax slapped in those in Russia). Governments get revenue from tax (this obvious even to the most simple minded person).

So even though Tucker Carlson admires him, the rest of the west does not.

EU Sanctions no one but itself. Economy sanctions against enemies is not a new strategy, but a rather old one with a new name. Surrounding the enemy during siege, preventing resources and reinforcements to get in were always a war strategy. On the other hand if anyone has ever saw a map about Russia, then there is no question about that surrounding it or preventing resources to come and go by applying sanctions are never was going to work. But hey, maybe 13th time it is going to have an effect, right? Nope, nothing is going to change.
The UK applied sanctions on Russia then its economy shrunk by 0.1% last year ...That shows just how effective sanctions are...Russian economy performed poorly because its economy only registered 4.9% growth and not 3.6%
the sanctions is effective if russia were using the dollar currency but it was not artillery shells in russia is cheaper than in western countries despite the sanction.

Initially they said Ukraine will win. They advised against the 2022 peace talks and armed Ukraine. In the end, they will accept reality and acknowledge the fact that Russia can't be beaten.
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

The Russian economy in 2023 outpaced both the United States and Europe in terms of growth, increasing in size by 3.6% despite being subject to a wide array of powerful economic sanctions😅
Absolute nonsense and here's why i say so.
Having thoroughly studied Russia's Central Banks releases thie following is clear.
in 2023 and to date in 2024 Russia achieved 14 months of multi billion dollar deficits, following a multi billion dollar deficit in December 2022 (Source : Russia Central Bank data) leading to a 156 billion dollar reduction in revenue.
The deficits are a continual worsening trend caused by western sanctions decreasing Russia's revenues by 62% from oil and gas, which according to Russia Bank's data is over 156 billion dollars down on the same period in 2021/ 2022.
On top of this Russia's currency, the Ruble, has decreased in value by 52%, making it one of the 3 worst performing currencies in 2023, even after Russia's Bank doubled interest rate from 7.5% to 15% in 5 months at the end of 2023, in an attempt to stop it declining in value even further.
Russia has stopped fuel exports to prevent shortages, has food queues for the first time since Soviet times and spare parts availability for cars, planes, agricultural machinery, industry, etc has gone from 2 days to 18 months, if available at all.
Russia has been robbing its 'reserve funds' to pay for the economy, which means the growth may look good, but it's not from new revenues! You understand that differention, yes?
Lastly, Russians are freezing all across Russia due to heating and electrical power infrastructure failures due to poor maintenance.
These are easily researched facts and yet you will hear every day that Russia is doing well! why? because people believe Russian propaganda and don't understand statistics!
Let me give you an example.
Let's say Russia earned $100 and due to sanctions lost half (50%), the level of Russia's value at the start of the next year is now $50. in the next 12 months Russia achieves a growth of $10 giving them a total of $60.(which, if taken from the lower $50 starting point calculates as 20% growth). That for some and in particular the IMF forcasters, indicates a growth of 20%, rather than a deficit of 40% from the Original $100 starting point the previous year.
The bigger picture (wider the historical data spread) gives you the real picture, and not the snap shot taken that included the lower figures to support the narrative that Russia is doing OK.
Think about that for a while.

And yet the Russian people are poorer. Spending 40% on military does nothing for the benefit of the Russian people, as the equipment is produced and then destroyed in Ukraine. The Russian people see no benefit, whereas if it was invested in education or healthcare they would see growth and the benefits.
@@Richoright Show proof that the Russian people are poor. Give link a video of a Russian slum and an American or British slum to show that Russia is much worse than the west for people. You can't just say wild statements without proof that's the problem with the internet. I can easily regurgitate my made up stats and say Russia is the greatest or worst country in the world which is what you're doing
@@Richoright Why are you talking about poverty in a country you've never been to?
@@user-sq2uy1rc8y I’ve not been to Germany but I know they speak German. I don’t need to visit a country to understand facts. Do you want me to travel around Russia counting poor people? Over 13 million Russians live below the poverty line and in rural areas they don’t even have basic facilities.
Эм я хотел послушать про санкции а максимка занимает про смерть Навального..
But Russia doesn’t have 35$ trillion dollars in debt 🤷♂️
As Russian who lives in Russia I can definitely say that we're more than fine these days and truly independent. We have our own payment system and have no need for VISA or MC. We have a full house of resources, all kinds, while USA and EU is still dependent on some of our resources. Shelves are full of groceries, all other shops and markets are full of everything you need. Sanctions not only "not working", but actually hurting USA and EU more than us. Guys, come on... a country that is trying to control the world by putting sanctions on everything is sees will eventually go under. That worked foe some time when China wasn't that strong, but USSR was strong. Now both Russia and China are strong. And Iran, and even North Korea, which is sending shells to Russia and USA can't do much about. USA and EU (read NATO) is weaker than ever. The world will eventually abandon the use of dollar like it was couple of decades ago and the debt of USA will play its destroying game towards the owner of that debt.
Is a Russian opposition leader or any member, who recommends brain drain? This is just a traitor.
He was not very successful as an opposition leader, couldn't win an election even to Moscow (not federal) parliament. He was much better as an urbanist, promoting bike paths and such stuff in Moscow.
Putin:🤣
Because big Asian countries and BRICKS helping to Russian economy and Russia is independent almost

Remember that Europe and West have adopted an economic model based on injustice. Incentivating to privileged and depriving the lesser has caused austerity. Super rich people gathered huge capital, and common people struggle for daily meeting both end has made the economy stagnant. BRICS countries have kept their capital rationally distributed, which is in circulation, thus, their economies are flourishing. American dream and European dream is doomed with empowering corporates over consumers. The result is clear.
Your analysis fails to notice or explain the sources and preferred destinations of massive flow of migrants.
@cliodyncycwatch924 Migrants are only helping several Western economies to afloat. otherwise, depopulation would have caused serious problems. Post 2nd World War, political correctness resulted in laws supporting migrant workers. The moment BRICS offers migration, a real serious problem in Western economies may start. However, population growth among BRICS is preventing them immigration momentarily.
Russia is one of the most unequal countries on the planet in terms of wealth distribution!
As long as you sell stuff to Armenia, Kazakhstan and other satellites is just a short drive.
0:46 - ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Julian Assange once posted a video about this. They say that then "freedom of speech" failed him.
350 casualties? Surely he means 350,000?
Why do you skip the information about where the growth came from? It's military spending. Not from household consumption. I wonder why are skipping that fact? Are you trying to push an agenda?
Exactly. Who does the BBC serve by choosing not to get analysis on that
He BBC no longer knows what analysis is. Also, when a country switches to a war-time economy the common metrics are no loger relevant to it, or at least not directly comparable to those of countries with peace-time economies.
Every Russian sector is experiencing growth.
Spoken as only a bot called Joke1239 could. USE A REAL NAME COWARDS.
Actually, the growth is due to sanctions. My country has signed contracts to replace all passenger aircraft by 2030. All of them will be produced in Russia. All trains, all ships will be replaced. Literally, many shipyards are being built right now. China is helping to build them, but they are all on the territory of Russia. Many computer manufacturing plants have been built. Russia is even changing the windows operating system to its own. Your media is deceiving you. We in Russia now, like the Soviet Union, produce everything ourselves. Everything except cars. The cars are now Chinese, but they are manufactured in factories in Russia.

Half of Aeroflot's fleet is grounded. Maybe that's not the effect of sanctions.

*How sanctions affect the Russian economy*
The manufacturing business activity index (PMI Manufacturing) from S&P Global was 54.7 points in February (52.4 in January). The average index value over the past 12 months increased to 53.4 points (53.3 a month earlier). This is the best value since 2008 (for 16 years).
According to Rosstat, in January the output of basic industries increased by 5.3%. If we talk about the physical volume of production, then the past month was the best January in history. Thus, the previous record of January 2021 was broken.
The growth of industrial production by January 2023 was 4.6%. The growth of industrial production is accelerating.
Russia's GDP growth rate in January 2024 increased compared to the previous month. The Ministry of Economic Development reported this on February 28 in its review “On the current situation in the Russian economy.” It reports that in January the country's GDP grew by 4.6% in annual terms after 4.4% in December.
The manufacturing industry accelerated its output growth rate to 7.5% after 5.1% in December. Thus, the engineering complex showed growth of 28.3% year-on-year after 9.5% in December. The metallurgical industry increased its growth rate by 4.9% against 2.8% in December, and the food industry by 7.3% after December’s 1.9%!!!

How can I receive a British pension in Russia, when Citibank (pension office's bank) has stopped paying pensions in Russia? They are discriminating pensioners resident in Russia while they continue paying to the rest of the world.

How to ship oil from Russian to Europe. 1. Set up a company on 3rd world country by ur friends or relatives
2. Use the company to purchase oil from Russian
3. Purchase oil from the company that u set up for ur friends / relative from the 3rd world country.
4. Claims that u purchase oil from other country not from Russian😅
That how u avoid sanction
Russia is geographically in Europe, this is a thing European find it hard to accept.Russia is a superpower and the solution is Europe to accept that live and employ mondus vivendi
Great conversation 🙌
Britain actually sanctioning themselves 😂
