DW NOTE
Russia has lost more than one year's GDP to capital flight — a figure so large it suggests either sustained institutional exodus or a methodological sleight that conflates outflows with asset repricing. If the former, it means the sanctions regime has finally severed Russia from international capital markets in a way that tariffs and import bans never could. If the latter, it means analysts are counting paper losses on frozen foreign reserves as "flight," which is a category error. Either way, the headline treats the number as self-evident when it is anything but.
