Скачать или смотреть Russia in 2026: Economic Pressures and Leadership Challenges

As January 1, 2026 marks the start of a new year, this video provides a balanced analysis of Russia's current economic and political landscape. We examine ongoing pressures from international sanctions, declining oil and gas revenues, elevated military spending, slowing GDP growth projections (estimated at 0.5–1.5% for 2026 by various analysts), inflation concerns, and budget deficits outlined in the recently approved 2026–2028 framework.

The discussion also touches on leadership challenges, including expert forecasts of potential hybrid escalations, regime stability amid wartime strains, and public expectations around the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This is an objective overview based on publicly available reports from sources like The Washington Post, RUSI, Meduza, and the Bank of Finland—no speculation beyond cited analyses.
