Car sales in Russia down 83% in just one month

[andricv]

Sanctions are hurting Russia and it keeps getting worse.

Output in industries from
aviation to automotive has crashed. In May, the number of cars sold across Russia tumbled by 83% from the previous month, to 24,000. Rewind to May 2021 and monthly sales were nearer 150,000. Likewise, Russian plane makers are in a fix now that US, Japanese, EU and UK sanctions have blockaded the industry.

2. I hope the good people of Russia are able to do something about that dying jackass

and whomever he has planned to takeover after he goes to hell.

3. Once this war is over . . .

and let it be soon - Ukraine will get help from the West to rebuild.

Russia however, will be stuck with sanctions.

Hopefully the Russian people won't mind the lower standard of living coming their way as 'reward' for letting Putin ruin their economy.

Putin's legacy he leaves behind is not a good one.

4. It's a sickening, sin-filled fratricide.

5. Russia needs to pay for the rebuilding.

I'm sure they will try to avoid it, of course.

6. That's one sure way to force Russia to its knees.

Keep blocking auto imports to Russia so they must start buying all Russian-built POS cars.......
