Russian Payment Collapse - Joe Blogs

In this video I discuss the recent announcement that Russia has struck a trade deal with Pakistan under which it will be paid in POTATOES, ORANGES & RICE. This deal has been agreed due to the ongoing payment problems that Russia is experiencing as a result of the Financial Sanctions. The payment problems are now causing major problems for Russia and are having a huge impact on the Russian Economy.
