Russia Becomes Fourth Largest Economy Despite Sanctions
Recent reports from the World Bank show that Russia has become the fourth largest economy in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in 2021, surpassing Japan. Despite facing sanctions from Western countries like the US, UK, and EU following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's GDP grew by over 3% last year. This growth was fueled by continued oil exports to countries like China and India, who then re-export refined products to Western nations, exploiting loopholes in sanctions.
