Russian economy
US President Donald Trump said Putin and Russia were cascaded in the cascade effect of the Ukrainian invasion invading the Moscow economy. The best Republicans also spoke of the “social” truth that “a large portion of Russia’s money will be spent fighting Ukraine and that Moscow cannot capture the desired territory” forces them to turn them into paper tigers. “So did the Ukrainian War really affect the Russian economy?” Let’s get deeper into Moscow’s economic situation with the Ukrainian invasion and the current situation!
Russia’s GDP has been crushed since the Ukraine invasion
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), since Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Russia’s GDP has increased from 5.9% (2021) to 1.5% (2025). IMF data showed that Moscow’s economy collapsed in the year of the invasion. Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Kiyahu in February 2022, bringing Russia’s GDP down to -1.4% this year.
The Russian economy fell after the invasion of Ukraine
According to the IMF, in 2022, the size of the Moscow economy reached $23,000. From there, the size of the economy will be reduced to $2.08,000 according to the FMI 2025 forecast. This means that the country’s economy has decreased by almost 10% compared to the Ukrainian invasion. Putin has always denied the negative effects of invasion on his economy, but data shows the opposition.
Trump has already written Russia:
The US President has already written about Russia’s power. Previously, he teased “daddy economy.” And now he said they were like “paper tigers.”
How much of Russia is the war in Ukraine?
In December 2024, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Russia has spent more than $200 billion since the start of the invasion in 2022 (transferred to over £17 according to Wednesday’s RUP). There have been reports that the Kremlin has been completing defense costs at all times since 2022.
