The article centers on the prediction by political and economic expert Taras Zagorodniy that Russia is facing an imminent economic crisis due to falling oil prices. He compares the situation to an unstoppable "tsunami."
Zagorodniy asserts that while the falling oil prices won't change Putin's stance on the war in Ukraine, the resulting economic strain is unavoidable. He notes that Russia's budget is based on a much higher oil price than the current market rate and that actions like the destruction of Russian oil terminals by the SBU are exacerbating the problem.
The article suggests that Donald Trump's attempts to simultaneously boost the American economy and support Russia are incompatible and ultimately futile. The author contends that the economic revitalization of the US is unstoppable, rendering any attempt to save Russia's economy unsuccessful.
Zagorodniy predicts a significant weakening of Russia's position in the coming month, potentially leading to a scenario reminiscent of the collapse of the USSR in 1991, with Russians fleeing the country.
The article briefly profiles Taras Zagorodniy, describing him as a political technologist and expert with over two decades of experience in political consulting and media appearances.
