Udate: Russia raises interest rates: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/08/15/russia-raises-interest-rates-to-12-after-ruble-plummets-a82150
Bank will discuss interest rate after high spending on war in Ukraine and drop in export revenues put further pressure on Russia’s economy.
And admit they where wrong, remove troops from all Ukraine and take responsibility for all war crimes and reparations? Not sure how Putin would sell this as a win for Russia on national media…
It would be his end.
Pretty sure Ukraine would be fine to go without reparations and Putin wants regime change. So an agreement that Zelensky leaves and there are new elections in Ukraine would be fine. He controlls all the media in Russia, so he could make that work.
However he does not want to do that.
So every time Russia doesn’t like a Ukrainian president, they can go in, thrash the place (no reparations due) and force new elections?
I doubt you would accept this in your own country.
Open windows await him.
