A case study between the reporting from two sources.
Business Insider on 24 May 22:
Russia's economy is 'imploding' as exports to the sanctioned country plummet, economists say
Yahoo Finance 19 May 22:

With so many different opinions and sometimes bias, who should we give more weighting to influence in our decision making with our investment? I enjoy reading both differing views, however I will turn to the market, to see what it is telling me.

From the following chart, the Russia Ruble has strengthened back well below its pre-war level. From an investor viewpoint, a strong currency represents stability and inflation is under control.

I have included the links from both sources, enjoy the read.
