No, but likely will be sooner than later.
Hopefully before those in the west pressuring the Zelensky government manages to convince them to draft 18 year olds and completely destroy the future of the Ukrainian people.
There is a reason the average age of Ukrainian recruits are older than I am (43).

@newjaninev2 the Russian economy is growing and their currency is doing well - was that a fluke?
Seems like the purpose in Ukraine was to destroy the European economy in general and promote US weapons sales through force.

@Roundandroundwego russia's economy is circling the drain and the rouble, despite being artificially and unsustainably propped up, will buy you 1 cent (actually it's now upside down)
Russia is dumping its gold reserves massively, bank lending rates exceed 22%, mortgage rates are ruinous, and inflation (despite being artificially and unsustainably suppressed) is about to make even Argentinian rates look good.
Being russia, the true state of the economy is hidden behind a veil of lies and constantly changing criteria.
Recent weeks have seen a new tactic - unpalatable figures are re-classified as state secrets and become unavailable.
Putin is waging a (now10 year) war he can't afford.
Perhaps even worse than russia's financial future is its demographic future - dead and buried in Ukraine.

@newjaninev2 You really will believe anything.
You now are no different than the young earth creationists you criticize in other threads.
What you have said is totally accurate if you refer to Ukraine.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Russians rushed to take "payday loans" at 292% per annum due to unaffordable bank loans.
The tightening of loans in banks has pushed Russians to take out more "payday loans" at 292% per annum. In December, 70% of the total number of new loans accounted for loans from microfinance organizations (MFIs), although a year earlier the figure was at the level of 47.4%.
The "weight" of loans also increased relative to the volume of lending: in December, products from MFIs accounted for 13.6% of the total amount of loans - 3.5 times more than at the end of 2023. According to statistics from the Bank of Russia, in January-September, MFIs provided loans to Russians for 1.26 trillion rubles, which corresponds to an increase of 23.3% year-on-year
все по плану, конечно! 😂
Gosh, I hope Putin and his gangster cabal will still be able to afford their new luxury villas and super yachts!
