Via the state house organ RT, the prime minister of Russia said that it will only take six months to recover from the impact of the crippling sanctions put on the country by nations around the world for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The economy needs time to rebuild. It is impossible with such a blow not to have at least six months to rebuild,” Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told the State Duma on Thursday. The Russian economy is running at a 2% weekly inflation rate, with goods missing from shelves and financial systems crippled because of sanctions barring interaction with Western banking systems.
According to RT–which really makes it sound like we didn’t break up with Russia; Russia broke up with us… or it was going to anyway–“Moreover, Moscow has allies and partners with which it will continue working, and there are those who want to build businesses there. The authorities will continue supporting investors, including foreign ones, planning to strengthen cooperation with EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) partners, Mishustin said.”
