"Russia On Verge Of Recession": Economy Minister Admits Truth. EU Pushes Harder - The Russian Dude



Russia is spiraling toward economic collapse, and this time, the alarm bells are coming from inside the Kremlin. Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov just admitted the unthinkable: Russia is on the brink of recession. Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina joined the chorus, confirming that the war-fueled economic growth is over. As the war in Ukraine drags on, Russia's war economy is running on fumes, its once-mighty National Wealth Fund almost depleted, and its oil revenues slashed by Western sanctions and price caps. In this video, we dive deep into the shocking truth about the Russian economy, the collapse of domestic industries, soaring inflation, and Putin's desperate propaganda campaign to keep the illusion alive.

We’ll also explore how Europe is tightening its grip with plans to end gas contracts and redirect frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, turning financial warfare into real-world pressure. Meanwhile, the U.S. and its allies are hammering Russia’s shadow oil fleet with new sanctions, isolating Moscow further from global trade. The regime may be flexing with missiles, but behind the scenes, it’s panicking as cracks appear across society—from unpaid wages to empty hospitals.

This is the full story of how Russia's militarized economy is eating itself alive, why oil can't save the regime this time, and how growing public doubt could be the beginning of the end for Putin’s rule. If you're looking for the real reason the Kremlin is losing control, this video unpacks the internal collapse Moscow doesn’t want you to see.
