The war is draining russia’s resources, and russians are starting to feel the impact of economic problems.

▫️ oleg sirota, a well-known russian cheesemaker and advocate of the so-called “import substitution,” recently voiced his frustration with the government. He’s upset that the russian government cut grants for new farmers. His statement that “this will hurt rural communities” has gained attention in russian media.

▫️ While many russians still support the war, they’re less happy when the kremlin starts dipping into their wallets to fund the “smo”.

russians should recognize that the current economic problems are just the beginning. Putin is willing to use all available resources to keep the war going, regardless of how it affects ordinary citizens. This shows that eventually everyone will feel the strain, and staying out of politics will no longer be an option.
