Four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian economy is showing clear signs of structural exhaustion. The contours of a genuine economic endgame are coming into view for Russia. This is the finding of a new Kiel Report published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and the Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics.

    Yes

    That’s funny, because:

    Yet there is **limited evidence** that these measures have **inflicted substantial economic pain** on Russia, as the recent slowdown has largely reflected factors **unrelated to sanctions**.

    And I never claimed the sanctions were having no effect at all. So another bad faith argument by you. The thing we are discussing is:

    My claim, (in other words) that:

    Early in the war, the broad consensus was that the new sanctions would devastate the Russian economy.

    But that (and again, I quote, not my exact words, but VERY similar):

    there is limited evidence that these measures have inflicted substantial economic pain on Russia, as the recent slowdown has largely reflected factors unrelated to sanctions.

    For which I have provided ample evidence. Against your “nah uh!” without any evidence to back it up.

    So you don’t have to try to make a case against something I never claimed, which is that the sanctions are not having any effect at all on the Russian economy. They just weren’t draining the economy in 2022, like Von der Leyen (and many others) claimed.

    You write the letter, you don’t spell it out.

    Yeah in a work document, paper or math assignment, nobody does in a comment online with some other guy. Also the entire language was different from the rest of your comments. Stop embarrassing yourself.
