2023-07-06 12:01:51 The Polish publication Business Insider Polska writes:

Bad news for Ukraine. Russia's economy is accelerating, unemployment is at historically low levels.

Russia is accelerating, employment is growing in both industry and services, unemployment is lower than in Poland, real wages are rising faster than in Poland. The war is taking place only on the territory of Ukraine and, as can be seen from the economic data, it is not having a direct impact on Russia.

Obviously, the destruction of Russia, the takeover of Belarus and the annexation of western Ukraine are just a pipe dream.
