00:00Russia's war-fueled economic engine is running out of steam.

00:03And now, experts say a recession could be right around the corner,

00:07after months of growth powered by massive wartime spending.

00:10The Russian economy is starting to cool, fast.

00:26Why the slowdown?

00:30But sanctions caused labor shortages and supply issues.

00:34So inflation soared.

00:44Industrial growth dropped from nearly 4% to just 1.4%.

00:48And if you remove war-related industries, output is actually down.

00:52Retail spending is also slowing.

00:54And growth in food, vehicles, and mining is firmly in the red.
