Yes, their economy is growing and it's been widely reported. GDP PPP is now on par with Germany. And that's even after becoming the most sanctioned country on earth and cut off from SWIFT.

Regarding "unemployment" - they've got historically low unemployment and an acute labor shortage at the moment. Also very widely reported.

Yes, those are all results of war economies. It looks really good on paper but such generic numbers like GDP aren't that useful when comparing very different types of economies.

Russia has lost a significant portion of their export customers and is now losing a lot of productive capacity to keep the war going.
