Four Russian regional governors resigned on Tuesday as the country braces for the impact of economic sanctions.

The heads of the Tomsk, Saratov, Kirov and Mari El regions announced their immediate departures from office, while the head of Ryazan region said he would not run for another term.

Elections are scheduled to take place in all five regions in September.

Though Russian regional governors are elected, they are politically subordinate to the Kremlin. Several of the outgoing governors represent regions where the ruling bloc United Russia took weak vote shares in parliamentary elections last year.

Unpopular governors are regularly removed from office, often submitting their resignations in clusters in the spring months.

Ilya Grashchenkov, head of the Centre for the Development of Regional Politics think tank in Moscow, said the Kremlin was removing weak governors amid a worsening economic outlook for the country, driven by Western sanctions.

Grashchenkov said: “There’s a need to restructure the economy, especially in those regions where Western economic influence had been significant. These governors need to be replaced by younger alternatives.”

The Russian economy is set to contract by 8.8% in 2022, the economy ministry has said.

They were thinking in 2weekz, the land of Ukraine will be desolate. But na the third months we don enter dey go so, Ukraine still dey exist.

Two weeks? Most of them said that Ukraine will be done by the weekend, a war that started on a Wednesday. That means they gave Ukraine just 2 days

I thought Russia was forming tough and defiant. More effects and severe ones O the sanctions are on the way,to shake Russia.
This is just the beginning.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

By now you should know their is a correlation between the staying in the war for a longtime and European economies, that badly need the war to stop because of rising inflation. All are related and called strategy.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Reality on ground is even shocking to Nato, the only war, they have won is propaganda war. That one, they have won. But the real war, forget. Russia as taken all the seas now called five seas strategy.

Desperation on what? Are you so important? Am not desperate, but looking forward to a multipolar world in which Africa can also emerge as global powers, without interference from global powers. That's my own motivation. The new financial system being planned by China, Russia and the rest and how it will affect Africans.

It's becoming a reality and this is the last stage of events, isolation of Russia, and sanctions, will force them to seek alternatives financial system, and Russia will make new friends in Africa, just like they already have central African Republic, now stable and away from the control of the French, Mali, bukina Faso, Sudan, libya etc. We should by now have had a common currency in West Africa, the eco, but the French prevented it from happening. The next attempt will make it happen, common African passport, common currency, open borders, trading among ourselves and easy travel will build a strong Africa.

Do you know what Africa will be like if the currencies are backed by the resources we have underground. The african countries need to study the central bank governor of Russia, who made policies that increased the value of the Russian currency using Russian gas. Africa is also a global power with those kinds of policies.

The only shocking thing is how Russia has failed to take over Ukraine within a week despite the suprise invasion on Ukraine.
Now that the developed world saw that NATO fought back, then the support came pouring in

China already owns most of Africa. Alot of African countries are now highly indebted and enslaved to China.
All thanks to the corrupt and visionless African leaders

Because they never new Russia, s economy was powerful, and they calculated wrongly using exchange rate instead of ppp. So they now have to go and re calculate that russis is indeed the 6 th largest economy and the sanctions affects everybody. So Russia will delay the war so that the sanctions make an impact on both ways. Gas prices will go up the roof and winter will come after few months. Everything is strategy economic and military strategy. You are writing like its a James bond movie. It's more than that. They are already taken all the strategic places. Just doing cleaning of militants. They don't need Kiev, because you cannot force a leader on them. It will lead to more instability.

Thanks for confirming that Putin and his advisors are very dull. They dont need Kiev but wasted time, lifes, soldiers, equipment, money e.t.c trying to take the city.

They ran away from Kiev with their tails tucked in between their legs

That was for negotiation, they withdrew because they wanted to discuss, you must be joking. Ukraine is no match forget the propaganda

They should go back na since negotiation has failed.

The 40 billion dollars aid the USA is dashing Ukraine is almost as much as Russia's military budget for 2021. Russia was making so much money in 2021 from oil and gas. The budget for 2022 is likely going to be lower as their buyers are pulling out due to Sanctions.

US on the other hand is spending close to 800 billion on it's military this year. More than 11 times of Russia's budget in 2021.

EU and NATO are arming more than ever. Sweden and Norway are going to submit application to join NATO.

Russia has so far not gained anything from this war.

Ukrainian, s have been told not come to the round table, so they strategic places are already Russian lakes now, the rest of the country is snow, nothing there, they are not strategic.

I thought some gullible people said sanctions don't work on Russia, instead it boosts its economic and military power? What has just happened? Regional Governors resigning in the face of sanctions that don't have impact on their economy? Wait for putin urchins to prove that this is a cheap propaganda.
