The Russian economy has declined: the transportation of the Russian railway was minimized

To spread: the volume of cargo transportation of the company "Russian Railways" continues to decline, which affects the condition of several key sectors of the economy of Russia. In August 2025, 92. 2 million tons of cargo were transported by the RZD network, which is 5. 4% less than the same month last year. In the first eight months of this year, the total volume of transportation amounted to 738. 8 million tons, showing a fall by 7. 1% compared to 2024.

About it reports the Center for Combating Misinformation. The largest decline was recorded in the construction sector: the transportation of building materials decreased by 15%. The volume of ferrous metals (-17. 3%) and coal (-3. 6%) decreased significantly. Oil shipment decreased by 4. 9%, which is due to repairs at refinery. Particularly noticeable was the fall of grain loads - almost 30. 7%. Experts associate this with a crop failure and restrictions on export.

Analytics are considered a reduction in the volume of transportation in the "RJD" as an indicator of slowing economic activity in Russia. The impact has come in construction, metallurgy and agro -industry, which reflects the reduction of domestic demand and increases the signs of stagnation.
