Trump: If it went really well,you know, maybe a few weeks, if it went really poorly,it's not going to happen. That would be a shame.

Looking at car prices, drivers in Russia say: "Well, we've driven around - that's enough." The cost of an average car has doubled since 2022.
And after buying it, you immediately need to start saving for spare parts - not to mention the fact that you need to start looking for them right away.
