I den stora läckan från US intelligence ("discord-läckan", Taxeira) finns även bedömningar av rysk ekonomi. Man kan diskutera om läckan är äkta, men här är vad som framkommer i en läcka från mars.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/04/26/russia-sanctions-impact-leaked-documents/
"U.S. intelligence holds that Russia will be able to fund the war in Ukraine for at least another year, even under the heavy and increasing weight of unprecedented sanctions, according to leaked U.S. military documents."
"While some of Russia’s economic elites might not agree with the country’s course in Ukraine, and sanctions have hurt their businesses, they are unlikely to withdraw support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to an assessment that appears to date from early March."
"“Moscow is relying on increased corporate taxes, its sovereign wealth fund, increased imports and businesses adaptability to help mitigate economic pressures,” reads part of the assessment, which is labeled top secret, the highest level of classification."
"Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, U.S. intelligence found, had drafted a letter to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in early March to seek backing for contingency plans to avoid a “potentially embarrassing collapse” of Russian state-controlled entities such as the International Investment Bank, the International Bank for Economic Cooperation and the Eurasian Investment Bank, because of sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies."
Det enda som förvånar här är att de inte har identifierat att Ryssland trycker pengar. Kanske hade de inte börjat trycka pengar här, eller så trycker de inte pengar ännu.
I övrigt stödjer det min tes - rysk ekonomi klarar kriget i lång tid ytterligare.
Trådens premiss (från juni 2022) var helt fel, Rysslands ekonomi kollapsar inte.
