## Resource

The EU is ramping up financial warfare against Russia, targeting banks and crypto to cripple its war-funding and economic stability—yet Moscow remains unfazed, calling sanctions “old noise.” Despite Russia’s $3 trillion economy, it’s already showing signs of strain, shrinking 0.3% in Q1—a first dip since 2023. With interest rates soaring and war costs mounting, the EU’s latest sanctions could reshape Russia’s global financial footing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
