Donetsk, Kharkov, Lugansk - way to Russia.

Let's now talk about a 5 year period. Do you agree with my figures?

Why?
The discussion started with this year.
The fall is because of the sanctions and the weakening economy.

We could start talking about 20 years in the past or 1000 but that wouldn't be about the current situation.

The the picture now is that barney is falling from its dino like a stone.

So, when people compare today economic situation with that of 2008, they are making an error, right? The fall is because of the sanctions, but it was a trigger to currency speculation, not because of the weakening economy. As to you, sanctions were enacted two weeks ago, and they have already weakened the Russian economy?

Sanctions-hit oil company Rosneft will be able to apply for money from a state wealth fund, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said Tuesday, adding that the government had "on the whole" approved the company's investment program.

Rosneft's access to Western money has been restricted by the sanctions imposed in response to Moscow's role in the Ukrainian conflict. Rosneft has asked the government for $42 billion support from a fund earmarked for Russian pensions to help it weather the sanctions.

That Ruble-Dollar rate is not an issue, Russia is finished making contracts in dollar so it's not affected much by the Ruble-Dollar exchange rate.

Seems like the barney rubble isn't doing far better against the yuan either

It's useless arguing with Niothor because he's just slipping his prepared propaganda in his arguments but he's not really interested about truth because it's clear he has an ulterior agenda.He just trapped you in a situation where he'll just repeat his propaganda. The Western style is SHOCKS & MIRRORS- create their own reality through propaganda,and  that's the only thing left in their arsenal,because the de-dollarization is accelerating.  The basic thrust of their propaganda is to show they have weakened the economy of Russia  through their sanctions  because they have become the laughing stock already throughout the world, even perennially bankrupt Argentina was able to defy them & got away by making deals outside the dollar & swapped with China (Nithior's words: The fall is because of the sanctions and the weakening economy. See? how he slipped his propaganda through the dollar isse?)

The important thing is that Russia was not weakened by their sanctions because it grew instead while the EU countries shrunked, with Germany weakening by .02%. NOTE: RUSSIA GREW, and that is the proof of the pudding.

So you are not going to discuss the growth of the Russian economy since 2008 (early 2009), right? Regarding Rosneft, you seem not to understand that the money the company previously got from the West was used to finance its working capital. Do you know what that means?

It means that they are broke.
The price of oil is dropping , russian fields output in siberia is dropping ... everything is going barney rubble.

Moscow (AFP) - Russia's economy minister urged Monday an easing of budget rules to allow a bigger deficit to finance investments needed to overcome Western sanctions.

With a responsible planned increase in the budget deficit we would unleash a new wave of economic stimulus, which is so important in this tense geopolitical situation," Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said.

When the us does that everybody talks about a f** economy when russia is doing the same it's the siberian tiger.

Also , fro mymyomy and his growth..

Russia's economy has contracted in annual terms for two months in a row, the Economy Ministry said Friday, adding to concerns that Russia may be heading for recession as Western sanctions over Ukraine bite.
In a weekly macroeconomic monitoring report, the ministry estimated that gross domestic product had contracted by 0.2 percent in July compared with a year earlier, following a 0.1 percent fall in June.

Lol, you don't understand a thing. In business, financing your working capital by credit (read you spare your own money) means that you get enough income that allows you to pay the interest and earn decent profits at that...

You seem to not understand that they can't pay their debts back meaning that their profits were and are below expectation.
Also they need the russian pensions to help them pay their loans.

There is not even a word on the amount of money they need to keep their production afloat since the fields in Siberia are going dry one after the other.

Also , their business plan was for 116$/barrel. It's below 100 with WTI hitting 92.

So you are essentially saying that they were taking short-term credits (aren't they what sanctions prohibit before all?) to pay off their debts? And for how many years, lol?

Also, what the heck do you quote here the price of West Texas Intermediate oil brand? To give your words more weight?

It means they had a debt which they planned of rolling with new credit. That way out is cut.Now they will rape the pension fund.

And second was because that's the price of oil. There are only two in the oil world that matter Brent and WTI , one is at 97 the other at 92.
20$ below the what rosneft predictions were. Expect a second rape of the pension fund.

Such bullshit. Rosneft had amassed 684 billion rubles ($20 billion) in cash and deposits by the middle of the year.
That's more than enough to keep paying debts till the second half of 2015 (440 bln roubles in 2014, 626 bln in 2015). And that's even not including continual cash-flow from its operation.

You are so pathetic. Now, according to you, they had a debt which they refinanced so many times in the past, right? Do you understand that all these times the burden of debt was on the West, and Rosneft was able to work entirely on credit and make decent profits from the borrowed money?

Because they can? They're taking advantage of the opportunity it seems.
Still I wouldn't take for granted that they get that much.

Also don't think that they simply 'get' the fund's money for free. The wealth fund will either buy their newly issued bonds or their newly issued shares.

Heavy fighting still ongoing in Donetsk airport and some other areas in the Donbass. A lot of civilians are still losing their lives in artillery shelling by the Kiev junta forces. The ceasefire is a joke with the exception of Mariupol. Some of the POWs are being exchanged... but other than that this ceasefire hasn't benefited anyone other than Poroshenko.
