Russia’s Markets Collapse After Putin’s Chilling Message

WooGlobe

The Russian stock market just suffered its worst one-day drop in three years. The Moscow Exchange Index (MOEX) plunged over 4%, hitting its lowest level since December 2024. This collapse comes after a top Kremlin official declared that peace talks with the U.S. have stalled and relations are falling apart.  Major Russian companies like Aeroflot, Severstal, and Mechel took major hits as investor confidence collapsed. Meanwhile, Putin is doubling down on war goals — and doubling propaganda funding for 2026.  With the war dragging on and the economy showing serious cracks, is Russia heading toward a deeper crisis?
