Russia has firmly dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent claim that its economy is on the verge of collapse.

He acknowledged that growth has slowed, with Moscow forecasting GDP expansion of just 1% in 2025 compared to over 4% in previous years. However, he rejected the notion of imminent collapse, stressing that Russia’s energy sector continues to provide a backbone for the economy.

Analysts note that while Russia faces mounting challenges—ranging from inflation to reduced foreign investment—the Kremlin is determined to project resilience. The International Monetary Fund has downgraded its growth outlook, but Moscow maintains that its economy remains functional despite Western sanctions and wartime pressures.
