So, the meeting between Donald Trump and turned out to be brief, meaningless, and strange. There will be no ceasefire on the Russian-Ukrainian front; the war will continue.

The problem of Russia's return to peace is multi-layered. One layer is the reverse structural restructuring, partial or complete. The second is the preservation and lifting of sanctions and other restrictions. The third is the social consequences, related not only to the absorption by the labor market of more than half a million former fighters but also to disruptions in business groups tied to the war.

Most participants in the Klondike Gold Rush died in poverty. But for some, this era still helped them get rich. For example, entrepreneur Levi Strauss, who created the legendary jeans. Their durable fabric and rivets in the corners of the pockets were made specifically to meet the needs of the prospectors. The winners were also saloon owners, equipment sellers, and food suppliers—in short, everyone who supported the work of the gold miners. So, the Russian consumer market in the last three years resembles such a Klondike. Only instead of searching for yellow metal, people are engaged in trading on marketplaces, which seem to be a new golden bottom of the Russian economy.

The eighteenth EU sanctions package is, as usual, mocked by Russian officials for its ineffectiveness. However, public skepticism is accompanied by rather active moves from the Kremlin. Is this just a coincidence? It seems not.

U.S. President Donald Trump finally announced his «surprise for Russia.» The most important thing – there is no threat of 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil without helping Ukraine. There is a 100% tariff on trade with Russia – and even that with a delay. On this news, the Moscow Exchange index happily soared. But in reality, there is nothing to celebrate.
