“Now that understanding is waning, and that is yet another sign of the anthropological disaster Russia is facing,” he said.Don't say that Ukraine "gave up" Mariupol, says Chris Miller, professor at Tufts University. This was a retreat of the last bastion of soldiers in the city which Ukraine held out far longer than analysts thought would be possible.
“We see deterioration in the economy now across a broad range of sectors. Companies are warning that they’re running out of inventories of spare parts. A lot of companies put their workers on part time work and others are warning to them they have to shut down entirely. So there’s a real fear that unemployment will rise during the summer months, that there will be a big drop in consumption and retail sales and investment,” he told The Associated Press.
If the war drags on, more companies could exit Russia. Weafer suggested that those companies who have only suspended operations might resume them if a cease-fire and peace deal for Ukraine are reached, but he said the window for this could be closing.
