In a press conference, Donald Trump stated that the Russian economy is in a serious situation, highlighting the existence of long lines at gas stations as evidence of the economy's collapse. The Kremlin's spokesperson, Dmitri Peskov, avoided commenting but stated that Putin is open to solutions for ending the war in Ukraine. Peskov also emphasized that the Russian economy has sufficient resources to implement its plans. Despite forecasts of modest GDP growth, supporters of Ukraine believe that the Russian economy is weaker than it appears. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak assured that Russia has a stable supply of gasoline, contrary to Trump's claims. The war of attrition with Ukraine continues to affect the Russian economy, which is under pressure from international sanctions.
