Journalist claims capital flight from Russia exceeds 100% of GDP

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 09:45 AM

Journalist Andrey Kalitin reportedly claims that while Russia's leadership speaks of greatness and threatens the West, trillions of dollars are fleeing the country. He cites official statements about economic growth and opportunities for youth, contrasting them with the reality of capital outflow.

Kalitin also touches upon perceived threats from Russia towards Poland and Lithuania, and a suggestion by Zakhar Prilepin to annex more countries. He notes Finland's construction of a border fence with Russia as a sign of distrust. The author implies that despite the official rhetoric, the outflow of capital indicates a lack of confidence in Russia's future.
