Ten years ago today, 21 September 2014, Moscow. The March of Peace against the war in Ukraine, organised by Boris Nemtsov. Tens of thousands of people on the Boulevard Ring with the slogan “Peace to Ukraine, freedom to Russia!”
One day, I know, those words will become a reality.

Exports to Russia 1-4/2024 vs 9-12/2021 ($) It is interesting to note that overall exports to Russia have been dropping in recent months. Weak ruble? Payment problems?

Which regions are have highest military mobilization rates? We follow @LSolanko 's approach and look at parts of Russia with unusually high retail deposit rates
The surge in deposits is likely driven by high military pay and outsized payouts for injury and loss of life

Twenty years ago on this day, April 23, 2004, Presidents of Ukraine and Russia celebrated signing of the Russia-Ukraine Border Treaty. When Putin's says that he has not, personally, signed treaties with 1991 borders with Crimea as a part of Ukraine, he is simply lying.

Our new 🇨🇳 forecast is out! This year GDP growth about 4%, then growth decelerates to around 3%, which is pretty close to China's long-term growth potential.

China’s growth slows down according to freshly published @BOFITresearch forecast. Households remain wary which decreases their willingness to spend. The government aims to boost innovations thus many investments into new technologies are state led. 🇨🇳 bofit.fi/en/bofit/latest/new…

(2/2) Russian economic growth will decelerate this year 2 %. In the absence of a surprising event, the Russian economy in 2025 and 2026 should grow at around 1 % a year. urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi-fe20240321…

Laut @BOFITresearch Ökonomin Heli Simola lassen sich rund 60% des kräftigen Industriewachstums der ersten neun Monate 2023 auf die Rüstungsausgaben zurückführen, und 40% des Wachstums der gesamten Wirtschaft. spiegel.de/wirtschaft/russla…

Rintamalinjojen vakiintuminen ja kaupunkeja suojeleva ilmatorjunta tukee Ukrainan taloudellista aktiviteettia, kirjoittaa @IikkaKorhonen @BOFITresearch. #Ukraina toipuu kuitenkin vasta kun sota loppuu. Se edellyttää, että maa saa kaiken tarvitsemansa taloudellisen tuen.
Lauantaina 24.2. tulee kuluneeksi kaksi vuotta Venäjän täysimittaisesta hyökkäyksestä Ukrainaan. Taistelujen tauotessa #Ukrainan talous voi elpyä nopeastikin mutta se edellyttää tukea. 🇺🇦

ALT Ukrainan talouden elpyminen vaatii sodan loppumista. Se puolestaan vaatii sitä, että Ukraina saa kaiken tarvitsemansa avun sodan lopettamiseksi.

This Saturday marks two years since the Russian invasion of #Ukraine. Along with the human suffering war has scarred Ukraine’s economy. The economy could recover quite briskly with a cessation of hostilities. 🇺🇦

ALT Ukrainian society today cannot function without a constant effort to repair damage inflicted by Russia, but its full recovery requires peace. This is why Ukraine deserves all possible assistance to finish the war.

Two quotes from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, two years apart. Compare at your own risk!
At a meeting with foreign diplomats on Tuesday, Lavrov described accusations that Russia was planning to invade the Baltic states, Sweden and Finland as “absurd”. However! 🤨

Kyllä - minä uskon ja toivon, että niin apulaisoikeuskansleri kuin taitavat kollegat @Sisaministerio’ssä kuin ”tavaavat” lainsäädäntöä niissä kaikkein kovimmissakin skenaaeiossa. Se on meidän työtämme. Ketju @valtioneuvosto päätöksenteosta 1/⛓️
