Vodka? Seriously?

[edit]

What kind of stereotypes, couldn't they find photos of another product than a random photo of a shelf with vodka. 176.120.205.56 (talk) 17:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well the important part is the sign, do you have a picture of another Russian product being taken off the shelves? Slatersteven (talk) 17:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated

[edit]

Such an important article, yet so outdated as indicated by passages such as "The Russian economy is expected to shrink by 11% by the end of the year". This was written in 2022 and never amended. I just hope someone with enough spare time takes reworks this article so that it reflects situation as we know it today rather than back in 2022. Gorgedweller (talk) 09:14, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's why we have not news, article should be written in past tense about events that have happened, not ones that might. Slatersteven (talk) 09:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming to "Economic consequences..."

[edit]

If nobody significantly objects to this, I will be renaming this article to "Economic consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine". Impact is a proscribed, jargon word that—when used figuratively—means "strong/violent/marked effect". Firstly, there's no one effect of the invasion, but more importantly, saying "economic strong/violent/marked effect" is a leading statement and precludes the need for the article body itself.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 9 September 2024

[edit]

My request is that the first paragraph be changed accordingly:

The economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in late February 2022, in the days after Russia recognized two breakaway Ukrainian republics and launched an invasion of Ukraine. The subsequent economic sanctions have targeted large parts of the Russian economy, Russian oligarchs, and members of the Russian government.[1][2][3][4] Consequently, a wave of protests and strikes occurred across Europe against the rising cost of living.

"Russia responded in kind" was replaced with "Consequently". The reason is that the following statement does not appear to be directly caused by Russia, or if it is, it should be further elaborated upon. STRFabs (talk) 04:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm missing something in my skim through, but it's weird neither that nor the subsequent sentence seem to be covered in the body of the article. Alpha3031 (tc) 05:25, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This change appears to have already been made before this edit request was made, maybe the requesting editor was looking at an old diff? - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:19, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
